Appendix: Safeguard ports

SPP requires port availability for various system operations.

Port details

Safeguard network port details are in the following table.

Table 73: Safeguard ports

Use in SPP

Appliance port

Protocol

Description

 

MGMT

TCP

HTTPS used for a secure first-time configuration of the appliance. The IP address is a fixed address that cannot be changed. It is available in case the primary interface becomes unavailable.

Typically used: TCP/443 and IP address: 192.168.1.105

Base operation

25

TCP

SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer

Base operation

53

TCP / UDP

DNS (Domain Name Server)

Base operation

123

 

NTP time synchronization

Base operation

88

TCP / UDP

For communication with Active Directory, Safeguard uses port 88 (for example, Kerbos authorization against Active Directory).

Base operation: AD Asset and Account Discovery, password check and change

389

TCP / UDP

LDAP used for Active Directory Asset Discovery and Directory Accounts Discovery. The standard global catalog port, 3268 (LDAP), must be open on the firewall for every Windows global catalog server in the environment and SPP Appliance to communicate for directory management tasks (for example, adding a directory account, a directory user account, or a directory user group). For more information, see the Microsoft publication How the Global Catalog Works.

For basic functionality when changing an OS account password, the following ports are required:

  • Windows Active Directory: TCP/389 and TCP/445

  • Windows, Windows Desktop: TCP/445

Also see:

Base operation (password and SSH key check and change)

445

TCP SMB

NetLogon Service (NP-In) is used to perform:

  • Password check and changes for Windows Active Directory

  • Password and SSH key check and changes for Windows, Windows Desktop.

Also see port 389 and Preparing Windows systems

LDAPS

636

 

Supported for non-AD LDAP providers. The default LDAPS port is 636. Port 636 needs to be open to use LDAPS for non-AD LDAP providers.

WMI

135

(49152-

65535

Windows)

TCP

The firewall must be configured to allow Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for computer name and other lookups. WMI is also required if SPP performs any of the functions listed below on any Windows machine (whether it be a dependent system or a normal target platform):

  • Managing service account passwords

  • Managing scheduled task passwords

  • Restarting a service

  • Using Account Discovery on the target

WMI / DCOM from DPA will need access to TCP/135 to initiate communication on the target. The conversation continues on a random negotiated port. On Windows 7 and Windows 2008 (and above) this is in the range: 49152 - 65535.

To limit the ports used by WMI/DCOM, refer to these Microsoft articles:

For Windows Active Directory, if using Account Discovery or Auto Discovery CLDAP ping UDP/389 is also required. See:

WMI

49152-65535

 

See port 135

SPP/SPS internal communications

8649

TCP

Used for the SPP/SPS internal communications when SPS is linked with SPP.

  • SPS to SPP:

    • SPS completes the link by talking to SPP on port 8649.

    • SPS authenticates a new session and acquires the password from SPP by talking on port 8649.

    • SPS queries SPP for cluster information and the appliance version.

  • SPP to SPS:

    • SPP queries SPS for cluster information and node roles.

    • SPP pushes SSH host keys to SPS when a session is initiated.

    • SPP queries SPS for session playback, follow mode, and session termination.

In SPS, the nodes require UDP ports 500 and 4500 and TCP 8649. For the latest detail, see the SPS Administration Guide, Enabling cluster management.

Firewall

655

UDP (X0)

WireGuard (655) is open for secure VPN communication between appliances in a clustered high-availability configuration.

To enroll an appliance into a cluster, the appliance must communicate over port 655 UDP and port 443 TCP, and must have IPv4 or IPv6 network addresses (not mixed). If both IPv4 and IPv6 are available for the connection then IPv6 will be used. See:

Firewall and Client and Web browser points

443

TCP

(X0)

HTTPS over TLS/SSL (443/TCP) permits inbound requests (for client/Web/API access). Used to initially log on to the appliance to join the cluster member. Users must have access to the cluster X0 ports on port 443.

To enroll an appliance into a cluster, the appliance must communicate over port 655 UDP and port 443 TCP, and must have IPv4 or IPv6 network addresses (not mixed). If both IPv4 and IPv6 are available for the connection then IPv6 will be used. See:

The port is used to prepare VMware ESXi host. See:

Global catalog

3268

 

The LDAP standard global catalog port for Active Directory. The standard global catalog port, 3268 (LDAP), must be open on the firewall for every Windows global catalog server in the environment and SPP Appliance to communicate for directory management tasks (for example, adding a directory account, a directory user account, or a directory user group). For more information, see the Microsoft publication How the Global Catalog Works. Also see:

There are no services listening for this port on a member/server workstation (local configuration).

Kiosk

DB9

SERIAL

To connect to the Safeguard Kiosk. See KB article 233584.

Radius server

1812

 

Default port number that a Radius server uses to listen for authentication requests. See Adding identity and authentication providers.

SonicWALL SMA or CMS appliance

8443

TCP / UDP

For SonicWALL SMA or CMS appliance. See information related to authenticating an asset, Password (local service account).

SQL server

1433

 

The port on which the SQL server will be listening for connections. See information related to authenticating an asset, Password (local service account).
