     Is outbound firewall access on Port 80 necessary to run an OPMS?

Environment

ASM versions 10 and earlier.

Resolution

     Outbound access on port 80 is only required during installation, to reach required repositories and download installation packages. Once the installation process is complete, only inbound and outbound access on port 443 is required
