Installed IIS 11.3 on linux redhat and after installation I have issue using 9080 port as 11.3 version requires secure login (SSL) 9445 is being used.

now firewall is applied between my client machine and Server (standalone app ,dsengine, repo).

I have request to grant access 9080,9060,9443,9445,31531,31538 all tcp.

I am not sure whether these are tcp or not .

Secondly
I have seen below port numbers in version.xml .So am I suppose to request to grant access to connect from client machine to all port numbers below. or just the port numbers we use to connect like (9080,9060,9443,9445)?

1. 31538
2. 9080
3. 9445
4. 31531
5. 13400
6. 13401
7. 2825
8. 9353
9. 9080
10. 9633
11. 9405
12. 9107
13. 9403
14. 9043
15. 9445
16. 5578
17. 7286
18. 9404
19. 5558
20. 5075
21. 5076
22. 8881
23. 50000
24. 9060
I m confused as I didnt have to deal with firewall issue before .

Yes, those are all tcp/ip port numbers. You can also look in the response.txt file that should have been created on the server when it was installed to find port numbers.

Assuming you have a team that manages the network, firewalls, and firewall rules, they should be able to monitor and log network traffic flowing to and from your server while you test every client login and function, database connectivity, file transfers, etc. Then they can capture all the ports that are actually active and needing to remain opened. They would have to open the firewall to begin with.

If you use the metadata asset manager and the bridges and brokers, make a point to test that also because it runs a "server" part on your client, which Information Server needs to talk to. It's sort of a backwards flow with respect to the firewalls.

I have referred version.xml to get port numbers.
