Hello, folks. I was wondering if I could get some advice.
There is a controversy at our library about allowing outside access for the staff client. Our network administrator (who will have nothing to do with our Koha system) is concerned that opening a second port for the staff client creates additional risks. We have since worked out a compromise, but then I ran into the below link. In it, the author implies we don't need to use two ports, as he is only suggesting using port 80. I'm assuming that is for both staff and OPAC access from outside the firewall.
So, does this mean we could run both staff and OPAC on port 80? If so, I think this would go a long way toward resolving this issue and answering his security concerns.

Here is the relevant quote:
"Also note we are using port 80 for both servers, I don't see a reason to do otherwise.
Apache can run many different virtual servers. Normally, each server has its own domain name."
Thanks much in advance!
