Edit online

The webports option enables the use of the web client outside a firewall.

The webports option enables the use of the web client outside a firewall by specifying the TCP/IP port number used by the IBM® Storage Protect client acceptor service and web client agent service for communications with the web client.

Linux operating systemsOracle Solaris operating systemsAIX operating systemsMac OS X operating systemsValues for both the client acceptor and the web client agent service are required.

Windows operating systemsValues for both the client acceptor service and the web client agent service are required.

Linux operating systemsOracle Solaris operating systemsAIX operating systemsMac OS X operating systemsIf you do not specify this option, the default value, zero (0), is used for both ports. This causes TCP/IP to randomly assign a free port number for the client acceptor and the web client agent service.

Windows operating systemsIf you do not specify this option, the default value, zero (0), is used for both ports. This causes TCP/IP to randomly assign a free port number for the client acceptor service and the web client agent service.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all clients. The IBM Storage Protect API does not support this option.
