Description Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2006-12-22 08:32:39 EST 
[Vista] Agent Controller getting_started.html should remind readers to configure the firewall.

Due to the improved security with Windows Vista, by default the Vista firewall is turned on and port 10002 is blocked.  As such, the Agent Controller getting_started.html should remind readers to configure the firewall to allow remote communication.
Comment 1 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2007-01-25 11:04:52 EST 
Specific to MS Vista, we should add a note in the Platform's release notes for starting the Eclipse workbench as Administrator ("Run As Administrator") so the IAC can be used.
Comment 2 Dale Ollila CLA 2007-01-26 12:30:05 EST 
Updated the getting_started.html document at \www\tptp\home\downloads\installguide\agentcontroller_42\win_ia32\getting_started.html with content supporting MS Vista, and Committed the updated file to CVS.
Comment 3 Karla Callaghan CLA 2007-01-26 12:44:55 EST 
Setting target to 4.2.2.
Comment 4 Karla Callaghan CLA 2007-01-26 16:41:30 EST 
Added the following info to the Windows version of the Getting Started doc regarding Windows Vista constraints:
1) need to reconfigure firewall to unblock AC's ports
2) need to launch AC with admin privelege
3) need to launch AC as application (not service) if it will launch an application that needs to create UI.

Checked in the fix to org.eclipse.tptp.platform.agentcontroller\src-native\collection\packaging_md\win_ia32\getting_started_ac.html on the 4.2.2 branch.

Dale's checkin went to the web docs location, whereas the above is what gets packaged in the AC's runtime.

Note that the 4.3.1 checkin will occur under bug 171832.

Karla, this content should be in the 4.3.1 and upcoming 4.4 getting_started.html files (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/installguide/AgentController43.html).

Please disregard since I see 171832 and 171856 cover this.  I will follow-up with another defect for the old content on the web site.
Comment 9 Karla Callaghan CLA 2007-02-09 15:19:42 EST 
Paul - looks there may be a bug in the links from the install guide to the getting started (specific versions of the getting_started are checked out, which probably need updating).  I'm looking into it.
Comment 10 Karla Callaghan CLA 2007-02-09 15:47:31 EST 
Checked in AgentController43.html with fix, updated to the revision of getting_started.html that has Vista info in it.
Comment 11 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2007-06-27 15:21:00 EDT 
Verified in TPTP-4.4.0-200706140100C.
