Network

As with any enterprise application, changes might need to be made to firewall and other security systems in a production environment.

The following table lists default ports for services required and used within TIBCO MFT Command Center:
Supported Database Default Port
MS SQL Server 1433
Oracle 1521\1522

SSL: 2484

MySQL 3306
IBM DB2 50000
PostGres DB 5432
Note: These are the default ports. You have to check with the appropriate systems administrator to ensure that these default ports are used in your enterprise.

Either HTTPS or HTTP can be used for soap calls. By default, TIBCO MFT Command Center uses port 8443 for HTTPS and port 8080 for HTTP. These default values can be changed during the installation process.

On UNIX, TIBCO MFT Command Center must be installed under a root user if you configure TIBCO MFT Command Center to use ports below 1025. However, you can use the iptables command to redirect ports 443 and 80 to valid TIBCO MFT Command Center ports that do not require root access. For example, if you define port 8443 for HTTPS and port 8080 for HTTP, you can use the following iptables commands to redirect port 443 to 8443 and port 80 to 8080: 

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
Note: When using the iptables command to redirect requests from ports below 1025, the iptables command must be executed from a root user.
