4.0 Configuring Ports and Firewall

IMPORTANT:The Advanced Authentication server uses ports 443 and 80. These ports cannot be changed.

Advanced Authentication supports port forwarding but it is not recommended. Here, the entire appliance is available through the internet. It is recommended to use reverse proxy to map only the specific URLs.
