Let iCloud do the work?
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 3:38 pmI implemented SeedCode's calendar into my FileMaker Solution multiple years ago and integrated Zulu into the system at least a year or so ago (and have been very pleased with both products as well as with the remarkable support received from SeedCode).
More recently, I integrated credit card processing into my FileMaker solution only to discover later that I was required to have PCI compliance monitoring (in order to assure that my network is secure). Unfortunately, having port 80 forwarded from the firewall to the server (in order for Zulu to function) has raised several red flags on the network scans.
To complicate matters, I recently upgraded to FileMaker Server Advanced 12 and to Mountain Lion and have not, yet, been able to successfully implement SSL in FileMaker Server. (I am quite certain that I am making the process far more complicated than it should be).
I noticed, however, that iCloud uses port 443 (which seems to indicate SSL is being used by iCloud for sync'ing my calendar, contacts, etc.). Since port 443 did not raise any red flags, this lead me to wonder:
Can Zulu be directed to act only as a local iCal server... meaning only sync'ing SeedCode's calendar to the server's copy of iCal... so that iCloud can then sync iCal outside the LAN and onto my other devices?
