Need to access Yardi SMB network drive from OutSystems 11 Cloud (AWS)
Question
Integration

Hi everyone,
I have a requirement where our OutSystems 11 Cloud app (hosted on AWS) needs to access files from a shared network drive in Yardi.

In the Yardi side, the files are available through SMB (Windows share), something like:

\\YardiServer\SharedFolder\...

This works fine when we are inside the same network, but from OutSystems Cloud we obviously can’t access the SMB path directly.

So I wanted to check what’s the recommended way to handle this in OutSystems Cloud.

  • Is it possible to connect to an SMB share directly from OutSystems Cloud (maybe through VPN or private networking)?

  • If SMB is not possible directly, what is the usual architecture used for this kind of integration?

One idea we are considering is setting up a Site-to-Site VPN between Yardi network and AWS, and then accessing the share over the tunnel.  But I'm not sure about this.

Has anyone implemented something similar before? Any best practices or recommended approach would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Hi,

OutSystems provides detailed documentation on how to setup VPN between your network and your OutSystems 11 environment. See here https://success.outsystems.com/documentation/11/setup_outsystems_infrastructure_and_platform/setting_up_outsystems/set_up_a_vpn_to_your_outsystems_cloud/
