SSL or TLS Transfers

All SSL or TLS transfers must be performed on a port specifically identified for this purpose only. It is not the same port as the TCP/IP port that MFT Platform Server listens on for incoming requests.

Two TCP ports are available for TLS, one for IPv4 requests and one for IPv6. The TLS port is optional. Entering 0 as the TLS port number disables TLS.

Two TCP ports are available for TLS Tunnel, one for IPv4 requests and one for IPv6. The TLS port is optional. Entering 0 as the TLS port number disables TLS. Valid range is the same as for other ports supported, between 1025 and 65535.

Only one regular TCP port can be configured during installation. However, if it is not entered at the time of installation, you can set the port by opening the Server Properties window and clicking the Responder tab as follows:



Choose a port within the range of 1025 - 65535 that you want to use for SSL or TLS transfers. It is good practice to use port 56565. Then click the OK button. To invoke this change or addition made to the registry, stop and start the MFT Platform Server service.
