Listeners Tab

The non-secure listener defines how a client application connects to Sterling External Authentication Server without requiring an SSL or TLS handshake. You must connect on the non-secure listener port the first time you login. After you set up the secure listener port, you can disable the non-secure listener.

Define the following parameters on the Listener screen to define non-secure and secure listeners:

Parameter Description
Secure Listener
IP Address Client IP address to use to connect to Sterling External Authentication Server.
Port Port that the secure connection listens on. Default is 61366.
SSL The SSL keystore file stores the certificate used to connect to secure LDAP servers and to perform TLS/SSL negotiations with connecting client applications.
Enabled Enables secure listening on the port or IP address identified.
Non-Secure Listener
IP Address Client IP address to use to connect to Sterling External Authentication Server.
Port Port that the nonsecure connection listens on. Default is 61365.

After configuring the secure listener, disable this option to disable the non-secure port.
