Port requirements
The following table lists the port requirements for the SolarWinds Patch Manager server and Application Server.
Patch Manager server
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 135 | TCP | (RPC Endpoint Mapper) The Patch Manager server uses this port to establish WMI connections to remote computers. It also uses this port to connect to the Service Control Manager (SCM) when it provisions the WMI providers dynamically on the remote computer. |
| 389 | TCP | (LDAP) Patch Manager servers use this port for Active Directory authentication. |
| 445 | TCP | (SMB over TCP) The SolarWinds Patch Manager server uses this port when it provisions the WMI providers to a remote computer. |
| 4092 | TCP |
(Console-to-Server Communication) The Patch Manager Admin Console uses this port to communicate to an independent Application Server role. This is a one-way communication channel that only requires inbound TCP traffic on the application server. In a distributed environment, Patch Manager servers use this port in the same manner for "downstream" communication. For example, the Patch Manager Primary Application Server (PAS) uses port 4092 to communicate with remote SolarWinds Patch Manager servers in secondary server roles. This port is required to manage systems running the Patch Manager Agent. |
| 8787 | TCP | (Web Console Connections) By default, users connect to the Patch Manager Web Console server on port 8787. |
| 17777 | TCP |
(SolarWinds Information Service) The SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) facilities data exchange for the SolarWinds Patch Manager Web Console, along with the web console API. Ensure this port is not blocked on servers running the Patch Manager Web Console server. |
| 1024-65536 | Dynamic Ports |
(DCOM or RPC) WMI technology is based on Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM)/RPC communication. DCOM/RPC allocates the ports used by the server within a dynamic port range. This range is typically between 1024 and 65536. To configure these ports using Windows Firewall on your managed computers, enable the Inbound Rules in the WMI group. |
Application Server
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1433 | TCP | (Web-based reports) In an integrated configuration with the Orion Platform, the Orion Platform server uses this port to establish a connection to the EminentWare database using TCP/IP. Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable the Named Pipes and TCP/IP protocols for the SQL Server Network Configuration. Web Reports requires these protocols enabled on the SQL Server instance where the EminentWare database is located. Additionally, configure a Windows firewall for this port. |
