Red Hat Summit1.6. Port requirements for IdM
Identity Management (IdM) uses several ports to communicate with its services. All IdM servers in the deployment must have these ports open and available for communication from all other IdM servers for IdM to work. They must not be currently used by another service or blocked by a firewall.
| Service | Ports | Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP/HTTPS | 80, 443 | TCP |
| LDAP/LDAPS | 389, 636 | TCP |
| Kerberos | 88, 464 | TCP and UDP |
| DNS | 53 | TCP and UDP (optional) |
IdM uses ports 80 and 389. This is a secure practice because of the following safeguards:
- IdM normally redirects requests that arrive on port 80 to port 443. Port 80 (HTTP) is only used to provide Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL). Both are digitally signed and therefore secured against man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Port 389 (LDAP) uses STARTTLS and Generic Security Services API (GSSAPI) for encryption.
In addition, ports 8080 and 8443 are used internally by pki-tomcat and leave them blocked in the firewall to prevent their use by other services. Port 749 is used for remote management of the Kerberos server and only open it if you intend to use remote management.
