Issue/Introduction

Which port is used by the Endpoint Agent to communicate with the Endpoint Server?

Resolution

Endpoint Agent to Endpoint Server communication is over port 10443. This port can be changed in the Enforce console, under the Endpoint Server configuration page:

1. Navigate to System -> Servers and Detectors -> Overview
2. Select the Endpoint Detection Server that you want to configure
3. On the Server/Detector Detail page click the Configure button
4. On the Configure Server page open the Endpoint Server tab
5. In the Agent Listener section, change the Port number to your desired port
6. Click the Save button to save your changes.

NOTE: The Endpoint Agent's port number (the one used to connect to its Endpoint Server) can be set during the installation, or during post installation by changing the port number setting in the SQLite database. This can be done by using vontu_sqlite3.exe located in the installation package in the Tools directory. A re-start of the Endpoint Agent process will cause it to update its port number. Please refer to this KB for using vontu_sqlite3 - Change a DLP agent from one Endpoint Server to another:

The syntax for the SERVER_HOST_AND_PORT_LIST is "host1:port1,host2:port2,..."
