Login prompt does not appear when connecting TM1 Achitect

Troubleshooting


Problem

TM1 Architect displays the TM1 Server(s) from a client system. After clicking on the server name to connect nothing happens. This behaviour may occur with both security mode type 1 and 5.

Symptom

The login screen does not appear in TM1 Architect or Perspectives when connecting to a remote TM1 Server. Connecting from the system where the TM1 Server and TM1 Admin Server is running does not experience the same problem.

Cause

Port range 49152-65535 may be blocked. Architect typically uses port 5495 or 5498 to connect but is then passed off to a random port in this range. If ports in this range are blocked Architect will not display the login prompt.

Resolving The Problem

Verify ports in the range 49152-65535 are not blocked by firewalls on the client, server or by a network based firewall.
