Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Httpport

The httpport option specifies a TCP/IP port address for the Web client.

Note:
The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.

Tivoli Storage Manager Firewall Support

The webports option enables the use of the Web client outside a firewall by specifying the TCP/IP port number used by the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor service and Web Client Agent service for communications with the Web GUI.

The ports you specify with the webports option and the client option httpport must be opened in the firewall.

To enable the backup-archive client, Command Line Admin client, and the Scheduler (running in polling mode) to run outside a firewall, the port specified by the server option tcpport (default 1500) must be opened in the firewall.

Note:
Tivoli Storage Manager does not support the scheduler running in prompted mode outside a firewall.

See Tcpport and Webports for more information. See Tivoli Storage Manager Firewall Support for further considerations regarding Tivoli Storage Manager firewall support.
