Network connectivity requirements

Network connectivity requirements are a key part of deployment planning, particularly for scenarios where the CEP and CES are hosted in a perimeter network.

All client connectivity to both services occurs within an HTTPS session, so only HTTPS traffic is allowed between the client and the web services.

CEP communicates with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), using standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and secure LDAP (LDAPS) ports (TCP 389 and 636 respectively).

CES communicates with CA using Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM).

Notes:

By default, DCOM uses random ephemeral ports.
CA can be configured to reserve a specific range of ports to simplify firewall configuration.
