Close all unused ports

Keep only the minimum number of ports open. Close all ports not in use.

The Oracle InForm application defaults to the following ports, but can be configured to use non-standard ports.

• Port 1521—Default connection to the Oracle Database.
• Port 80—For the client connection (HTTP).
• Port 443—For the client connection (HTTPS).
• Port 389—For connection to the Oracle Directory Server for reporting.

The Oracle InForm application does not require both Port 80 and Port 443. However, you must configure the Oracle InForm application to use either HTTP or HTTPS.

The ports used by the following web services should also be kept open at all times:

• AuthService
• ODMSubmitService
• DeploymentService

These port numbers are configurable and have no default values.
