I've got a Crystal Server 2013 installation with default values installed. I'm trying to reconfigure everything so that all services only are listening on localhost so that the services are protected from the general network and only usable from the local machine.
I can sign into Central Management Console and change the Properties on every service (in the Common Settings section I change under Host Identifiers from Auto assign to Hostname and specify localhost) except for the Central Management Server to bind to localhost. With this configuration once I restart all the services everything seems to work fine.
If I try changing the Central Management Server to bind to localhost it doesn't work. I notice that if I make the change in CMC but don't restart the service and then use Central Configuration Manager to stop the Server Intelligence Agent that if I then try to start SIA it seems as if my CMS comes up, but it doesn't start the other services. If I use CCM to bring up the Manage Servers window I can see only the CMS service running. If I try from the Manage Servers window to start any other service the service doesn't start.
I also note that if from CCM I bring up properties on the SIA then on the properties dialog for SIA I can go to the Startup tab, and if I bring up properties for my local CMS server the port is set to localhost:6405 (which in some ways seems reasonable) yet if I hit OK the window complains about the localhost:6405 value and says I need to enter a port number from 1 to 65535. If I hit cancel I can leave the value set to localhost:6405.
Since leaving the CMS listening to all addresses but having everything else listen only on localhost tells me I'm close. Any tips for how to get CMS to only listen on localhost? Any tips in general?
Thanks for your help!
