DNS Server for Thomson Reuters Eikon Hosted Internet
All Thomson Reuters Hosted deployment servers are able to resolve IP address through local Internet Service Provider (ISP) DNS. The following domains must be selected forwarding
DNS DNS Server Thomson Reuters Service
thomsonreuters.com Internet ISP Thomson Reuters Eikon
cp.thomsonreuters.net Internet ISP Thomson Reuters Eikon
reuters.com Internet ISP Customer Zone and URL links in some
news content, Trading Services, SDN, etc

Additional Internet domains/services are listed in Chapter 5.
Please be aware that Thomson Reuters will not divulge IP address information in any
circumstances. Doing so prevent us from changing IP addresses as and when needed without notification period and these IP addresses may not always be under our direct control. Clients should always use DNS.
Proxy Server: If clients implement an Internet proxy server on site, it is necessary that the proxy be able to solve the following domain correctly. Internet Explorer object will forward all request to the proxy server without resolving the domain name service.
Proxy and Firewall Policy
See information in Chapter 5.Authentication Proxy
Thomson Reuters Eikon has been qualified with the following authenticated proxies:
PROXY AUTHENTICATION METHOD
Apache Basic
Apache DIGEST
Squid Basic
Squid DIGEST
MS ISA NTLM
It is advisable to allow Reuters Insider URL to bypass NTLM authentication in Proxy, as we have experienced authentication timeouts with Flash-based applications with a number of clients when NTLM authentication is enabled.
Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD)
Thomson Reuters Eikon does not support the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD). The Update Agent cannot connect to the dedicated proxy server indicated in the WPAD file; as a consequence, users are not able to install Thomson Reuters Eikon or upgrade to the latest Service Releases or Hotfixes. The issue is under investigation by our development teams.
EXE Download Policy
Thomson Reuters Eikon installation package is an EXE Wrapper file (MSI/MSP file wrap inside EXE file). These files are virus checked and signed by Thomson Reuters before they are published on Thomson Reuters Update Service. Your site (workstation) firewall must be set-up to allow the download of these packages. Thomson Reuters is using this file format to guarantee best compression rates for the downloaded packages.
Firewall has to ALLOW the following servers to download EXE file through http protocol:
DOMAIN DOWNLOAD

* *These domains require NGTX Service package. If you have the NGTX Service package, the DNS MUST forward to the Extranet DNS rather than Internet DNS.
Additional Internet domains/services are listed in Chapter 5. It is recommended that client has Internet connection for Thomson Reuters Eikon in order to get full services.
Please be aware that Thomson Reuters will not divulge IP address information in any
circumstances. Doing so prevent us from changing IP addresses as and when needed without notification period and these IP addresses may not always be under our direct control. Clients should always use DNS.
DNS resource name lookup
You need to add a host record entry for Thomson Reuters Platform services into your local DNS servers with your local server IP address. The entry should be put in the same DNS suffixes that set up on the Advanced TCP/IP settings on the workstation.
Servers DNS entry
Streaming Proxy tr-streaming-proxy
TimeSeries Proxy tr-timeseries-proxy
E.g. If the first DNS Suffix Search List of the client workstation is “xxx.company.com”, you have to add the “tr-timeseries-proxy” host record entry added to the xxx.company.com domain. Thus the workstation is able to resolve IP address of the local Streaming Proxy by lookup “tr-streaming-proxy” upon Thomson Reuters Eikon application start-up.
However, this new DNS entry name can be changed in the Thomson Reuters User Profile in Administration Service to reflect the new DNS hostname. Please contact your TAM or DTS and make a request.

The multimedia news service, Reuters Insider, uses the Akamai Content Delivery Network (CDN), the 3rd party service provider, to cache and distribute dynamic and static content through thousands of Edge servers. Due to the dynamic nature of the Akamai CDN, the user is dynamically directed to the Akamai Edge servers that offer the best performance. Therefore please allow content for Content-Type
=”application/x-fcs” for Reuters Insider.
Personal Firewall
If you use a personal firewall, please ensure that the Firewall allows those processes:
PROCESS NAME SERVICES
Kobra.exe Thomson Reuters Eikon Desktop

Rdmc.exe System Test
Isdm.exe Thomson Reuters Update Services
Jre.exe Trading Services
Note: Kobra.exe and Jre.exe are not available on Thomson Reuters Eikon for Wealth Management
5.3 WEB PROXY AUTO-DISCOVERY PROTOCOL (WPAD)
Thomson Reuters Eikon does not support the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD). The Update Agent cannot connect to the dedicated proxy server indicated in the WPAD file; as a consequence, users are not able to install Thomson Reuters Eikon or upgrade to the latest Service Releases or Hotfixes. The issue is under investigation by our development teams.
5.4 REUTERS INSIDER
Reuters Insider does not support delivery over Private Delivery connections because internet delivery offers greater scalability, is more cost effective for clients and it's not prudent for video streaming to share the same connection as time-critical data. Many proxy and enterprise network monitoring tools allow bandwidth management of video internet traffic and these can be used to control quality and quantity risks associated with the internet delivery method.
Reuters Insider uses the Akamai Content Delivery Network (CDN), the 3rd party service provider, to cache and distribute dynamic and static content through thousands of Edge servers. Due to the dynamic nature of the Akamai CDN, the user is dynamically directed to the Akamai Edge servers that offer the best
performance. Therefore please allow content for Content-Type =”application/x-fcs” for Reuters Insider.
NTLM Authentication
It is advisable to allow Reuters Insider to bypass NTLM authentication, as we have experienced
authentication timeouts with Flash-based applications with a number of clients when NTLM authentication is enabled. For additional information, visit
https://kb.bluecoat.com/index?page=content&id=KB3243&actp=LIST
Timeouts or Disconnections
If Reuters Insider video streams occasionally time out or disconnect and it does not appear to be an issue with your proxy, the problem might be caused by:
A default setting in Internet Explorer versions 6 or 7 that limits the user to two concurrent connections to a server. As Reuters Insider is a feature rich multimedia platform, it sometimes requires more than two concurrent connections. This is a known limitation of these versions of Internet Explorer; the Microsoft article at the following URL explains how to increase this value: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402.
5.5 THOMSON REUTERS EIKON FOR COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

6 THOMSON REUTERS EIKON CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT
For security purposes, servers, Thomson Reuters Eikon package and Thomson Reuters Eikon Excel for Wealth Management package requires up to date certificates at installation, update and start-up. To ensure access to Thomson Reuters at all time, it is crucial that you validate the Certificate Management approach most appropriate to your network.
With the SSL certificate, it is required to validate the status of the certificates used when performing authentication, signing or encryption operations. Failures to validate the certificates prevent the product working. The validation can be either CRL or OCSP based on the client Operating System. See more information in Appendix D. It is necessary the certificates be validated through Internet or Internal
Certificate Infrastructure, Microsoft Online Responder, OCSP Proxy and etc., unless delegated to an internal certificate management system
You have to ensure that the certificate validation process can be updated from both

APPENDIX C: LOCAL DNS CONFIGURATION TO SUPPORT NETWORK
FAILOVER (PRIVATE DELIVERY TO INTERNET)*
*This configuration should only apply in case of BT MPLS failover i.e. not something to setup by default.
Configuration Microsoft Windows 2003 Server DNS for Selective Forwarding
NOTE: Microsoft refers to this as Conditional ForwardingFor Forwarders tab, all other DNS domains, the forwarder IP Address list is containing eDNS and Internet DNS. As figure below (155.195.76.4 is eDNS server and 203.144.207.29 is Internet ISP DNS).
For the cp.thomsonreuters.net suffix,
The forwarder IP address list needs add both eDNS and Internet ISP DNS. Add both DNS Providers because when the primary (Private Delivery) Infrastructure is fail, it will use Internet ISP DNS to resolve instead.
For the extranet.thomsonreuters.biz suffix,
The forwarder IP address list needs add both eDNS only.
For the thomsonreuters.com suffix,
Configuration Microsoft Windows 2003 Server DNS for Delegation
For the extranet.thomsonreuters.biz suffix
To Delegate this domain create a new Forward Lookup Zone (Standard Primary) called thomsonreuters.biz as the step showing below:
1. Right Click on Forward Lookup Zone to create new zone
3. Select Primary zone and Click Next
5. Create a new file with file name (default) and Click next
7. Click Finish
9. Create New Delegation by Right Click on thomsonreuters.biz domain
11. Enter “extranet” in the Delegated domain and Click next
13. Enter the eDNS server name into the FQDN, Click Resolve to get the IP Address and Click OK
15. Click Finish
Repeat create cp.thomsonreuters.com domain for delegated domain.
Forwarding DNS for cp.thomsonreuters.net domain
NOTE: It is not recommended to delegate the Universal Domains and Global Universal Domains, cp.thomsonreuters.net, since this breaks failover from MPLS to Internet. Please use forwarding DNS for cp.thomsonreuters.net
