Yes, but you accounting software probably isn't using integrated security
either. You might be able to get the required ports open to your CRM
server, but the end result will be so many holes in your firewall that you
would no longer have a secure environment. I would not recommend trying
this.

I'm well aware that it doens't do http over rpc but my small business
accounting for example will use a tcp/ip connection over the net to operate
so in theory the crm should be able to do the same - I just haven't figured
out the trick to it. I have a test server with no firewall for testing this
so it's not a port issue.
