14.7 Configuring the Firewall

Use the Firewall page to view your current firewall configuration directly from the appliance. By default, all ports are blocked except those needed by the appliance. For example, the Login page for the appliance management console uses port 9443, so this port is open by default.

NOTE:To have a seamless experience with the appliance, ensure that you do not block the ports with your firewall settings. For more information, see Default Ports for Self Service Password Reset in the Self Service Password Reset 4.5 Installation Guide.

To view firewall settings for the appliance:

  1. Log in to the appliance management console as the vaadmin user.

  2. Click Firewall.

    The Firewall page lists port numbers with the current status of each port number. The page is for informational purposes and is not editable.

  3. Click Close to exit the Firewall page
