System Requirements

A single server installation of WebMarshal, or a Processing Server within an array, typically requires the following minimum hardware.

Table 2: System requirements
Category	Requirements
Processor	Minimum: Dual core, 2 GHz Note: Use of HTTPS Content Inspection significantly increases the CPU load on processing servers (due to decryption and encryption of content). Depending on the amount of HTTPS traffic that is inspected, you may need to improve the CPU specification
Disk Space	Minimum: 20 GB free. •Additional disk space will be required on each processing server if Proxy Caching is enabled (30GB additional recommended if using default settings). See Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q12720 •Additional disk space will be required on each processing server if text logging is enabled
Memory	Minimum: 4 GB available to the application (more if CRL checking is enabled)
Supported Operating System	•Windows Server 2022 •Windows Server 2019 •Windows Server 2016 •Windows 10 (permitted but not recommended) Note: WebMarshal does not prevent installation or upgrade on earlier Windows versions. However, Trustwave cannot provide technical support if you encounter issues with these earlier versions
Network Access	•TCP/IP protocol •External DNS name resolution to allow WebMarshal Servers to resolve Web addresses
Software	•Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtimes •Microsoft .NET 4.6.2 Note: The above software will be installed as part of the WebMarshal installation if necessary. Installation of .NET might require system restart •Antivirus scanning software supported by WebMarshal. For more information, see “Supported Malware Protection Software”
Port Access (IPv4 and/or IPv6)	•Port 19100: To Array Manager, from Console (.NET remoting) •Port 19101 To Array Manager, from Controller on processing servers •Port 19102: To Controller on processing servers, from Array Manager •Port 8080 and 8181 (by default) and/or others as configured: To processing servers, from web browsers and other client applications. By default WebMarshal accepts authenticated connections on port 8080 and controls access by IP address on port 8081. •Directory service ports: From all WebMarshal servers to the Active Directory, Windows, or NDS directory environment •NetBios over TCP: enabled for all WebMarshal servers. For more information see Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q12207

•To enable database logging for the Marshal Reporting Console (MRC) application, use Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Server Express. You can use SQL 2014 (SP1 or above), 2016, 2019, or 2022. Apply the latest service pack.

•The database can be located on any server accessible from the WebMarshal Array Manager component.

•With SQL Express, you can use the instance installed by the MRC installer. You can also install SQL Express during the WebMarshal installation from the “with SQL Express” version of the installation package, or download a standalone installer from the Trustwave website.

•To enable user authentication for Novell NDS users, the Novell client software must be installed on the WebMarshal Array Manager computer. The current version is Novell Client 2. The latest versions of this client support all Windows versions supported by WebMarshal and are freely available for download from Novell.
