****************************************************************
The customer runs a firewall and secures (reserves) all ports.
The servers default to dynamically obtained ports, so the IIOP
and SSL Port values in the naming server instances must be
modified to use fixed ports.  The customer is unable to connect
with the SMEUI from outside the firewall to make this change.
Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
The servers default to dynamically obtained ports, so the IIOP
and SSL Port values in the naming server instances must be
modified to use fixed ports.  There is no way to manually modify
naming server instances IIOP and SSL Port values.  The initial
connection must be made in order to set the option in the SMEUI

This APAR is being close UR1 with the concurrence of the
