Can I Run an application at the server from client machine?
Hi,
I'm kind of a newbie in deploying client/server apps so I'll do my best to explain my situation.
My application (VB.NET) needs to communicate wtih a web service on another server on our intranet but the service's security is set up so that only allowed servers (identified by ip address) can request information. If I run my application from my PC it will return a "403 Forbidden" error because my client is not allowed, in fact no client PC is allowed, only servers. I have a server that is allowed to request services so when I run my application from the server (actually sitting at the server) it will run perfectly. If I copy or publish my app to my server and run it from a client it will not work, it still detects that I'm coming from a client machine.
So my question is: Is there a way that i can from my client machine run the application that is hosted on my server but so that it actually runs on the server, therefore the web service thinks the request is coming from the allowed server? Is that possible?
Thanks for reading.
