You must also enable access to the Liferay Web services for the Coveo server:

2. Using a text editor:
  1. Open, or create if it does not already exist, the [Liferay_Installation_Path]\tomcat-x.x.xx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\portal-ext.properties text file.
  2. Add the following lines to the file to allow access only to the Coveo Master server:
```
axis.servlet.hosts.allowed=[Coveo_Server_IP_Address]
 axis.servlet.https.required=false
 tunnel.servlet.hosts.allowed=[Coveo_Server_IP_Address]
 tunnel.servlet.https.required=false  
```
    where you replace [Coveo_Server_IP_Address] by the IP address of the Coveo Master server.
  3. Restart the Liferay server to apply changes to the properties and activate the listeners used for incremental refresh by shutting down and restarting the Web server:
    Example: With a Tomcat server, in a command prompt window, run the following files:
```
C:\Liferay6.1.1GA2\tomcat-7.0.27\bin\shutdown.bat
C:\Liferay6.1.1GA2\tomcat-7.0.27\bin\startup.bat  
```
    Restarting the server is required to apply changes to the properties and activate the listeners used for incremental refresh.
