TCP Ports
80 and 443 Inbound Port:
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, or are used by OES2, 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.
Outbound Port:
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 (http://novell.patchlink.com), 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 (https://secure-
www.novell.com) website. This rule can be turned off
after successfully completing the entitlement
activation.
For more information, see the ZENworks 11 System
Updates Reference.
Primary Server downloads system update related
information and content over HTTP (port 443) using
the you.novell.com (https://you.novell.com) website.
For more information see “Managing Update
Downloads” in the ZENworks 11 SP2 System
Administration 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 .
