Secure API Manager uses various ports to communicate with Access Manager, the databases, the different components, and NetIQ so that the appliances can receive patches and upgrades. Your deployment determines which ports the appliances use. You can view the open ports through the appliance management console. For more information, see Viewing the Open Ports in the Firewall
in the NetIQ Secure API Manager 1.1 Administration Guide.
WARNING:Do not change any of the firewall settings on the appliances that you deploy. Secure API Manager automatically configures the firewall setting on each appliance for you. If you do change the firewall settings on the appliances, the Secure API Manager system is no longer supported.
Use the following information to help you properly configure your firewalls external to the appliances. The table below is not complete. The following items are some of the most common ports the appliances use. Ensure that you do not block the ports, otherwise you might disable communication between the components or it might cause you not to receive patch updates and upgrades.
Ensure that you understand the communication flow between the Secure API Manager components, administrative workstations, internal workstations, and external access to the API Gateway. For more information, see Understanding the Flow of Communications through Secure API Manager.
