Port information
The following table lists the most commonly used port numbers (0 - 1023) and BMC suggested port numbers. Ports with an asterisk (*) indicate custom definable ports. Ensure that the ports that you select do not conflict with the ports that are currently in use in the installation environment.
Product integration port information
The following ports are the most commonly used ports for BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management traffic. These port numbers are either the default port number when installing the software or the port number that is most commonly used for the specific type of traffic. You can change most of these port numbers according to individual deployment requirements.

Encryption information
The following table shows which communications strings you can encrypt between the various components. HTTPS ports are web-based communications using SSL to encrypt. TCP ports are all other ports, whose port numbers are configurable and use DES encryption out of the box.
You can configure these ports within the AR System server configuration settings on the Encryption tab. You must set the New Encryption Settings - Security Policy to Required and Data Key Details - Algorithm Options to DES.
You can also upgrade the DES encryption to use more advanced encryption algorithms via the Performance and Premium upgrade packages.
