If using a server with more than one IP address, ePolicy Orchestrator software
uses the first identified IP address. If you want to use additional IP addresses for
agent-server communication, McAfee recommends creating additional Agent
Handler groups for each IP address. See Working with Agent Handlers in the
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.6 Product Guide or Help for details about setting up Agent
Handler groups.
Ports McAfee recommends avoiding the use of Port 8443 for HTTPS communication.
Although this is the default port, it is also the primary port used by many
web-based activities, is a popular target for malicious exploitation, and it is
likely to be disabled by the system administrator in response to a security
violation or outbreak.
Ensure that the ports you choose are not already in use on the server system.
Notify network staff of the ports you intend to use for HTTP and HTTPS
communication.
Installing the software on a Domain Controller is supported, but not recommended.
