Version 3 Architecture

There seems to be a problem with connecting with the SYNC server. What could be interfering?

Please check your firewall logs to see what's happening. As far as SNF is concerned there's no difference between running SNFServer naked, running it as a .SO, or running it as a DLL -- The SYNC section is exactly the same code in all cases.

The following is the authentication protocol:

• First the connection is closed immediately by the SYNC server.
• Then SNFMulti engine will attempt to connect to the SYNC server again after about 30 seconds.
• The next connection would produce a challenge and would read a response (all XML w/ base64 encoded contents). Once the challenge is met with a correctly encoded response the SYNC session would continue.
• Each following SYNC session would look similar.
• Once SYNC is established each session will be initiated by the SNFMulti engine about once per minute (this timing is dynamic).
