| Port name | Notes |
|---|---|
| LDAP | The port is on the directory server and specified on the Content Platform Engine server for authentication. |
| LDAP (SSL ) | The port is on the directory server and specified on the Content Platform Engine for authentication through SSL. |
| LDAP Global Catalog | The port is used for the Active Directory only. |
| LDAP Global Catalog (SSL) | The port is used for the Active Directory only. |
| WebSphere WSI | The port is on the WebSphere Application Server for Content Platform Engine. The port is used for communication with Content Platform Engine by clients through WSI. |
| WebSphere WSI (SSL) | HTTPS over SSL or TLS. (Port 9080 is the non-SSL HTTP port.) Content Platform Engine and custom applications use WSI. Port 9443 is on the WebSphere Application Server for Content Platform Engine. The port is used for communication with Content Platform Engine by clients through WSI. |
| WebSphere EJB | The port is on the WebSphere Application Server for Content Platform Engine. The port is used for communication with Content Platform Engine by clients through EJB and for request forwarding between Content Platform Engine servers. |
| WebLogic EJB / WSI | The port is on the WebLogic Server for Content Platform Engine supports both EJB and WSI. The port is used for communication with Content Platform Engine by clients and for request forwarding between Content Platform Engine servers. |
| WebLogic EJB / WSI (SSL) | The port is on the WebLogic Server for Content Platform Engine supports both EJB and WSI. The port is used for communication with Content Platform Engine by clients using SSL and for request forwarding between Content Platform Engine servers. |
| Kerberos Login | The port is used for Kerberos authentication support only. |
| Port name | Application level protocol | Transport level protocol | Default port number | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMTP (Email Notification) | SMTP | TCP | 25 | Content Platform Engine server | Email server |
| Rules Listener | RMI | TCP | 32774 (for Rules Engine using Rules Connectivity Framework) | Content Platform Engine server | Rules Listener |
| Content Platform Engine server to server communication port | HTTP (only for clusters) | TCP | 0 (randomly assigned port number) | Content Platform Engine server | Content Platform Engine server |
| Port name | Reply or Response to requestor? | Long lived sessions? | Load Balancer? | Supports SSL and TLS? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMTP (Email Notification) | No | No | No | Yes |
| Process Task Manager / Component Manager version 1 communications port | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Component Manager Event Port | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Rules Listener | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Content Platform Engine server to server communication port | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Port name | Notes |
|---|---|
| SMTP (Email Notification) | The port is on the SMTP server
and is configured for Content Platform Engine email
notification in Administration Console for Content Platform Engine. Communication on this port is one-way, from the Content Platform Engine server to the email server. |
| Component Manager Event Port | The port is on the Application Engine server, configured through
the Process Task Manager. This port number must match the port used
for the Component Manager Event Port on the Application Engine. Communication on this port is one-way from the Content Platform Engine server to the Component Manager. |
| Rules Listener | The port is on the Content Platform Engine server. Communication on this port is bidirectional from the Content Platform Engine server to the Rules Listener |
| Content Platform Engine server to server communication port | For a cluster configuration only. If there is a firewall between the Content Platform Engine server instances of a cluster, this value should be set to a
specific assigned port number and that port value should be allowed in the firewall
configuration. The port is set for the workflow system. The port number is the internal port number. You specify this port number in the Internal port number field in the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine. In a cluster configuration, this port needs to be set in Administration Console for Content Platform Engine and it needs to be opened in the firewall. Communication on this port is bidirectional between Content Platform Engine servers in a cluster. |
