Installation guide

Creating IPSEC filters to allow access to specified hosts
The IMPAX security policy blocks some TCP ports used to communicate with hosts outside the IMPAX
cluster. If you are connecting to other hosts, such as a domain controller or proxy server, create IPSEC
filters to allow IMPAX to access the host. The filter allows all traffic to and from the host on all ports.
Note:
If the Application Server is installed on the same machine as the IMPAX Server, the Application
Server creates the necessary filters for the domain controller.
To create a domain controller policy filter
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Select Administrative Tools.
3. Select Local Security Policy.
4. Select IP Security Policies on Local Computer.
5. Double-click Impax Server Policy.
6. In the IMPAX Server Policy Properties dialog, click Add.
7. Follow the Security Rule Wizard and the IP Filters Wizard, accepting the defaults except where
noted in the following table. The IP Filters Wizard is launched from within the Security Rules
Wizard.
To assist you in determining what selections and entries to make in each dialog, we have included
examples for creating a filter for a domain controller. Substitute the appropriate information for the
host you are accessing.
