Port Requirements

To configure CA LDAP Server and CA DSI Server to work with CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management discipline, identify the CA LDAP Server and CA DSI Server that you plan to use with this discipline. The port that each server is listening on and the suffix values defined for each backend defined to the CA LDAP Server is required. These jobs are run during installation of CA Chorus and disciplines. For more information, see the CA Chorus Installation Guide.

Confirm that the ports you intend to use are available.

This discipline uses the following listening ports:

CA LDAP Server port

Listens for CA LDAP Server requests. This server is required for policy administration. Specify one port per CA LDAP Server. You define this port in the slapd.conf configuration file.

CA DSI Server port

Specifies the port number that accepts CA DSI Server requests. This server is required for CIA real-time updates, simulation, and the Security Command Manager module. When administering security on remote LPARs, a CA DSI Server port is required on each remote LPAR.

For each CA DSI Server running remotely, assign a port number to accept incoming server requests. You define this port in the dsi.conf configuration file that is associated with each CA DSI Server.
