Port settings

VastPark Player

  • IMML: TCP Port 80
    • This is generally allowed by all networks unless they block non-Browser clients
  • Data: UDP traffic from the client on Port 80
    • Most corporate firewalls will need to open up for outbound UDP traffic from the client on Port 80. This will be automated using NAT traversal in an upcoming release.
  • The Crash reporter (optional) needs to send any crash logs via email on Port 25
  • Official add-ons
    • VastPark Voice (incorporates Skype plugin for high quality free voice calls) requires port 50123, 80 and 443 open to UDP traffic. This is now the default choice for voice in most environments.
      • Concerned about Skype traffic? We understand that and can provide a range of alternative voice options including integrating with your own VoIP system. Also some organizations have worked out ways of working with Skype under strict conditions. Consider the approach CERN takes to Skype: https://security.web.cern.ch/security/rules/en/skype.shtml
    • Alternative voice solution: Vivox voice requires port 5060 at a minimum. It prefers to have 5060, 5062 and 3478 open but this is not always necessary.

WorldServer Developer Edition

  • IMML: TCP Port 80
    • Can be configured to any port, but our default uses port 80
  • Data: UDP Port 80
    • Can be configured to any port, but our default uses port 80
    • Most corporate firewalls will need to open up for port 80 for UDP traffic. This does not need to be done if all the users are behind the firewall.

Web Server

Websites

  • Website access: TCP Port 80
    • Can be configured to any port, but our default uses port 80
  • Administrator site access: TCP Port 8080
    • Can be configured to any port, but our default uses port 8080

VastServices applications (Web Services)

  • VastID: TCP Port 80
    • Can be configured to any port, but our default uses port 80 with a VastID virtual directory
    • e.g. http://{domain}/VastId
  • VastCommunity: TCP Port 80
  • Metaforik: TCP Port 80
    • Can be configured to any port, but our default uses port 80 with a Metaforik virtual directory
    • e.g. http://{domain}/Metaforik

The web services that make up the VastServices platform can be run on any port that is accessible by the users that need to use it. This means, that the port(s) used to host the web services will need to be port forwarded through any firewalls. Each web service can be run on its own port or can be run on the same port if running as virtual directories in the same website. The latter option is usually more convenient as it does not require port forwarding any additional ports.
