Sometimes multiple services are configured on a single system with slightly different port numbers. For example, while the default port number for a servlet container such as Tomcat is 8080, a second instance of Tomcat might be configured with a port number of 18080. In all cases shown, communications proceed using the protocol shown in the table.

When you configure a firewall for OpenAM, make sure to include open ports for any installed and related components, including web services (80, 443), servlet containers (8009, 8080, 8443), and external applications.

Additional ports may be used, depending on other components of your deployment. If you are using external OpenDJ servers, refer to the Ports Used appendix of the OpenDJ Reference.
