Issue:

What ports are used for communication between Policy Manager Server and Linux Security 64 ?

Resolution:

Check connectivity from host to Policy Manager Server using HTTP Browser. If your Linux host does not have GUI, check connectivity using these commands:

curl -o https-host -k  https://:PMS_address:port_number
curl -o http-host http://:PMS_address:port_number

Linux Security 64 uses HTTP and HTTPS connections, therefore port numbers that are set for these protocols needed to be allowed.
By default, these are the port numbers:
HTTP : 80
HTTPS : 443

The same port is used for:

• downloading updates,
• downloading base-policies from the Policy Manager Server (settings),
• uploading status information to the Policy Manager Server.
