Technical Notes - Testing Server

When a web browser is used to administer a test to a student, it has to communicate with a "testing" server in a manner that is secure and in real-time. Network traffic to and from data.ncsu.edu must be allowed with NO attempt to cache its content. Firewalls, proxy servers, etc. should be configured to pass traffic on TCP ports 80 and 443 to and from data.ncsu.edu, the test server. Traffic may not appear to be web based (http and https) to some packet inspecting appliances and software.
