2.4 Working With a Firewall

ZENworks Reporting Server works with firewall systems to provide reporting across intranets and the Internet without compromising network security.

This section provides information about how to configure ZENworks Reporting Server in a packet filtering firewall environment. For detailed information about how ZENworks Reporting Server works in other types of firewall environments, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 3 SP3 Deployment and Configuration Guide.
