Security

What are the firewall requirements for the Sun SFT software?

Sun SFT communicates with Sun's servers using HTTPS; therefore, the system where Sun SFT is running requires outbound access to port 443.

If your firewall limits the hostnames that may be contacted, Sun SFT communicates only with transport.sun.com or transport.sun.co.uk. Check your /etc/opt/SUNWsftransport/sftransport.xml file to confirm which is in use for active slots. If your firewall limits communication by target IP address, you might perform a lookup for the addresses of these hostnames; however, keep in mind that Sun reserves the right to change the IP addresses of these hostnames.

How does Sun SFT encrypt the information that it sends to Sun?

Sun SFT uses 128-bit SSL encryption.
