Rights and traffic on selected ports

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 24 Aug 2004

Q:
I want to give someone rights to use a specific port of a server. However, the port is higher than 1024. Can I do this? Specifying port ranges (20-80) would greatly reduce the number of rules necessary. What can be done about this?

A:
It is not possible to set client-to-server traffic rules per TCP port number, on ports over 1023. This may be something related to IPSec itself, and not just a menu option in iManager.
