Which ports to open between CE 8 server and web server?

[tonymartin]

We have a CE 8 server on an internal network, and a web server+web connector in a DMZ. What ports need to be open on the firewall to allow traffic between the web server and the CE server? According to

, it should be port 6401 and 1024-5000 inclusive. Is this correct - can anyone here verify that? Or are there additional ports that need to be opened?

Thanks

No that's correct. The 6401 for the handshake and the other random port for communication between WC and WCS.
You can specify the other port by adding a command line parameter to the WCS:
- requestport #### where the #-signs reflect the number of the port. This way you don't have to open all the ports.
