Server admin tools port numbers?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I’m trying to discover which ports to open on my firewall in order
to use the Mac OS X Server admin tools, but I can’t find a
reference to these ports anywhere.

Is it possible that the tools use standard ports, and that
I’m looking for something that isn’t there?

Which server admin apps? Each one uses a different port.

Server Settings, for example, uses 660:

#grep MacOS /etc/services
mac-srvr-admin 660/udp # MacOS Server Admin
mac-srvr-admin 660/tcp # MacOS Server Admin

Other tools, including Server Status and Workgroup Manager uses 311 (asip-webadmin).

BTW, in this scenario, tcpdump is your friend. You can tcpdump your interface and see what ports the various apps are trying to connect to.

Thanks Camelot. I’ve been wondering about this for weeks.

I really appreciate your help.

Cheers.
