Connect to a remote Autodesk Vault server

Except in the development environment, in most cases, Autodesk Vault server and client are not installed on one machine, because in most cases, one Autodesk Vault server serves multiple vault clients. The architecture diagram of vault is as follows:

 

Connecting to the Vault server from the vault client is also very simple, because the vault client communicates with the Vault server through the Web service, that is, they communicate through the HTTP protocol (default port 80. In this case, ensure that port 80 of the Vault server is smooth. If you use Windows Server, add a web role to the server. If win7 is used, port 80 is disabled by default. You need to manually enable it:

Go to control panel-> system and security-Windows Firewall, runProgramPenetration Firewall

 

Find the World Wide Services (HTTP) World Wide Web service.

If this entry cannot be found or you are using another port, click "Advanced Settings" in firewall settings and add a new inbound rule, TCP port 80 (or another port number)

In this way, the vault client can log on to the remote Vault server:
