Here is my attempt of compiling a sort-of reference document of Internet URLs that are used either by the main BigFix Platform itself, or used within External Site Content actions for things like vendor-provided binaries. It is by no means complete and/or comprehensive, but should to assist folks trying to setup firewalls, proxies, or establishing network-based security whitelists.
As this is a semi-moving target, I will revisit over time and update as content or platform references are changed. If you know of any missing URLs or notice ones that are no longer valid, please add to the discussions. While having “a document” with this information provided by HCL would be great, due to the changing nature of the content it really does make more sense for it to be a living discussion thread here on the forum that is updated as items are discovered… not based upon a fixed release cycle.
BigFix Platform
These URLs are used by pieces of the BigFix Platform and host items like application binaries, content distribution, software inventory catalogs, utilities, license updates & registration, etc.http://esync.bigfix.com
http://gatherer.bigfix.com
http://software.bigfix.com
http://support.bigfix.com
http://sync.bigfix.comNote: The URLs are listed using only http for brevity but assume http and https for each if doing whitelist rules.
Content-Referenced Download URLs
All of the following sections (organized by content site display name) contains the URLs that fixlets within that site reference for downloads. The actual site content (analyses/dashboards/fixlets/tasks/wizards/etc) is obtained from URLs referenced in the BigFix Platform section above.
