What are the different installation scenarios for WebMarshal?


This article applies to:

  • WebMarshal 6.X and 7.X

Question:

  • What are the different ports that need to be opened when installing the WebMarshal Array Nodes in the DMZ? 
  • Can WebMarshal be installed in a DMZ?
  • What are the different installation scenarios for WebMarshal?

Information:

There are two different installation scenarios for WebMarshal. They are:

  • The Array Manager and Array Nodes are installed on the Internal Network (recommended)
  • The Array Manager is installed on the Internal Network and the Array Nodes in the DMZ
Note: Trustwave recommends that the WebMarshal Array Manager and Array Nodes are all installed on the Internal Network.
  • WebMarshal authentication requires access to user information from AD or Novell.
  • As best security practice the required ports should not be open to the DMZ.

Ports Required:

The following ports needs to be opened (outbound from the trusted network unless noted otherwise) for the different installation scenarios:
