Configuring SSL between Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and the clients

You enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication by editing the Apache httpd.config file. By default, SSL traffic uses port 433. You may need to change the default port if it is already used.

Step

Action

Description

1

Check that the default SSL port is available

In some networks, port 433 may already be bound to another application or service. Before you enable SSL communication, you must check to see if the default port (433) is available.

See Verifying port availability.

2

As needed, change the default SSL port

If port 433 is not available, choose an unused port from the high port range (49152-65535). Adjust the server configuration to use the new port.

See Changing the SSL port assignment.

3

Enable SSL communication to the client

Edit the Apache httpd.config file to allow SSL communication to the client.

See Enabling SSL communication between the management server and the client.
