HIPAA
HIPAA
I'm going through the HIPAA page of the OD manual. I've barely gotten into it and ran into my first glitch.
When I turned on my server's firewall and made OD and exception I was unable to login to OD on any workstation.
At a glance I don't think there is any antivirus software running currently on the server. I know this is probably not a good idea but at least I know that it's not an antivirus software that's blocking OD.
Any suggestions? Also, suggestions on a comprehensive antivirus solution for the office that won't break the bank?

There are a few ways, but the easiest (I'm a DOS girl) is to open command line and type
Code: Select all
ipconfig

Re: HIPAA
Yes.. port 3306 should be open on the server firewall. You would add the rule in the Windows Firewall, BUT you want to make sure the rule is for Private or Domain or both. Then go to Control Panel, Network and Sharing Center, and be SURE your network is set for Private or Domain but NOT public.
Once port 3306 is open to the local workstations, they SHOULD be able to talk to the server. Especially if File Sharing is working?
The Windows Firewall is just to control who gets to talk to the server. Not to be confused with your router's firewall.
If you want to be SURE you are not exposing port to the internet...
http://www.canyouseeme.org/ type in 3306 and click Check Port when you are at your office.

Yes. Sorry, I assumed that was already open. (You know what they say about assuming...)jrpappy wrote:Ok, that didn't work. I opened port 3306 and it's working. Is that the right move?
If the traffic was being blocked by the firewall, Open Dental would not be able to connect to any of the specified mysql hosts.

Re: HIPAA
Thanks to both of you!
So at http://www.canyouseeme.org/, can I check that from any computer that is on the network?
I tried it from my workstation and got a reply that it timed out and could not be seen.
Thanks
John

Re: HIPAA
You don't want port 3306 open to the public internet, just your local network (the computers in your office). Since Open Dental is working AND you're getting the "error" that canyouseeme can't see that port opened you are setup correctly. If canyouseeme could access that port than there would be a good chance that anyone in the world would have access to your database. That wouldn't been good.jrpappy wrote:Thanks to both of you!
