[omniORB] Localhost IP in IOR

[Rene Schneider]

Hello,

although the problem seems quite simple to me, I didn't find anything in
the documentation:
I implemented a CORBA server with OmniORB which writes an IOR in a file.
This file is accessible to another CORBA client on a different machine.
Because the client didn't accept the IOR, I dumped the IOR and was very
suprised to see the following:

Repo Id:  IDL:Echo:1.0
IIOP Profile
Version:  1.0
Address:  127.0.0.1:1669
Key:  fe c7 01 1f 3b 00 00 18 b2 00 00 00 00 00       ....;.........

Thus, OmniORB wrote the localhost IP (127.0.0.1) to the CORBA server's
IOR, which, of course, is not acceptable in a distributed environment.
I've searched for a switch somewhere to force the insertion of the
correct IP address, but I wasn't successful in that.
Other ORBs I tried out on the server side behaved correctly. What went
wrong?


Thank you
Best regards,
