in the past as these are test VM's running rocky linux on my personal laptop I usually just disable the firewall so I can use ext admin tool to create accounts and such
but if I wanted to keep the firewall up what ports do I need to open up so I can still access via ext admin tool?

thanks

Doug,

The listening port for all unirpcd connections (which is the connection XAdmin will talk to before spawing off the server side process) defaults to port 31438. So unless you have changed it, allowing all inbound and outbound comms on port 31438 on the server will allow communication with the unirpcd process. If you are using standard telnet then you'll need to allow all inbound and outbound comms on port 23 on the server as well. You may also need to allow the XAdmin process itself to comminucate through your Windows firewall to the server, but most windows firewall can be configured to prompt you to allow communication for the first time to automatically set up rules.

Opening ports 31438 and 23 on the server would be the first step and may well be enough.

Regards,
Jonathan

Doug,

If using SSL then the default port is 992, though it can be varied at administrators discretion.
