Additional Details

Firewall Settings: TCP Inbound Ports

80 and 443

Port 80 is for Tomcat non-secure port and Port 443 is for Tomcat secure port.

Port 443 is also used for CASA authentication. Opening this port allows ZENworks to manage devices outside of the firewall. It is a good practice to make sure that the network is configured to always allow communication on this port between the ZENworks Server and ZENworks Agents on managed devices.

If other services are running on ports 80 and 443, such as Apache, the installation program asks you for new ports to use.

If you plan to use AdminStudio ZENworks Edition, it requires that the Primary Server is using ports 80 and 443.

Firewall Settings: TCP Outbound Ports

80 and 443

Primary Server downloads patch license related information and checksum data over HTTPS (port 443), and the actual patch content files over HTTP (port 80). ZENworks Patch Management license information is obtained from the Lumension licensing server, the patch content and checksum data is retrieved from an AKAMAI hosted content distribution network (novell.cdn.lumension.com). You must make sure that the firewall rules allow outbound connections to these addresses because the patch content distribution network is a large fault tolerant network of cache servers.

Primary Server performs the ZENworks System Update Entitlement activation over HTTP (port 443) using the secure-www.novell.com website. This rule can be turned off after successfully completing the entitlement activation.

For more information, see the ZENworks 11 SP3 System Updates Reference.

Primary Server downloads system update related information and content over HTTP (port 443) using the you.novell.com website.

For more information see Managing Update Downloads in the ZENworks 11 SP3 System Updates Reference.

NOTE:You must assign the Network Interface to the firewall zone. Firewall rules are applied to this zone for managing the ports used by ZENworks 11 SP3.
