I'm at the stage where I have to home my installation of Handles, and to
do this I will need to put in a request to have ports opened in our border
firewall. However, so that I don't put in any unnecessary requests I'd
like to confirm with those in the know exactly which ports need to be
opened, and in which direction.
As I understand it, the system uses ports 2641 (TPC and UDP) and 8000.
2641 is the fundamental handles port used for communication by the system,
while port 8000 is for the http interface.
I know the system has to be able to communicate with the global handles
server out through our border firewall on port 2641. My question is: does
it also need to accept connections in through the firewall on pot 2641? My
guess would be yes, but I'd like to confirm this. Also, is it necessary to
allow outside access on port 8000, or is this just for administrative (or
internal) functions?
Thanks,
Guy Knights
