Subsystems installed in an instance of Netscape Certificate Management System
(CMS) share certain configuration information. For example, they use the same
administration, agent, and end-entity ports; internal database for data storage; mail
server for automated notifications; internal token and trust database for PKI
operations; SSL ciphers during SSL negotiation; privileged users; and log files to
log messages to. This chapter explains how to configure the ports for a CMS
instance.
The chapter has the following sections:
•
CMS Ports (page 359)
•
Configuring Port Numbers (page 362)
CMS Ports
Certificate Management System listens to different ports for requests from
different users. As illustrated in Figure 11-1, it listens to the administration port,
the agent port, and end-entity ports.
