Bigfix agent port type http & https

Hi, i wan to open relay - agent communication in DMZ , so do i need to open both http and https 52311 for the relay - agent communication? or https is enough

HTTPS should be sufficient. I will follow up with an updated network traffic guide for reference.

Hi Aram, i have checked this link Legacy Communities - IBM TechXchange Community and it says http connection required, i do not see https alone ?

Right…that’s the content that I will work to get updated.

With v9+, Clients will leverage HTTPS to communicate to their Relay by default, with HTTP as a fallback.

Ok , firewall team do not want to open http but only https connection among clients and relays and relay to Bigfix servers and i hope it should work with https (tcp and udp) …correct?

Correct, that should work just fine.

Aram, do you confirm that starting v9+, all communications between Client and Relay are in HTTPS? Meaning all reports/files sent by the Client go through an HTTPS tunnel?
