Agent initiates the connection. It is most useful for environments where admins have control over opening ports on their own networks, but do not have control over the ports in the external networks. Thus, agent would call back to the Secret Server through ports the admin would enable.

It looks as though this would not be helpful to you. You would be better off opening the ports discussed earlier on the DMZ servers.


Thank you for your questions,

Now the next question:
Are the connections initiated by SecretServer initiate the the Agent? I suppose Secret Server initiates the connection - correct?

Because the Agent would not be allowed to access ports in the inner Network, only from the inside out is allowed by our firewall policy.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

The following two ports are needed for Windows RPC and Heartbeat depending on the operating system and how the computers are set-up.

Windows Kerberos (441)
Windows NTLM (2640)

However we would recommend installing a Secret Server Agent on a DMZ Server, which would allow you to choose the port that the Agent communicates with Secret Server through the firewall, and you would not have to open either of the ports above.]]> Fri, 12 Nov 2010 09:00:53 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=298 ]]> Fri, 12 Nov 2010 02:15:21 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=298 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:48:07 GMT http://www.thycotic.com/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=298 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 06:09:18 GMT
