Description

SRX is configured with the integrated user firewall feature using LDAP, and the SRX needs to communicate with Active Directory domain controllers and clients, with a firewall in between.  What ports need to be opened up on the firewall for communication between the SRX and domain controller and client to work?


Solution

The following ports are used with the integrated user firewall feature and need to be opened up on the firewall in the path between the SRX and domain controller and client:


  • For WMIC, SRX uses TCP 135 (DCE-RPC) for communication setup (control link) with the domain controller (DC). This port is a well-known port and it is used by many other network management software devices. The communication (data link) is going through a dynamic port negotiated on the control link and firewalls supporting DCE-RPC ALG will be able to open up this port (all modern firewalls do).

  • For probes sent to the domain client, it uses TCP 135, which is the same as DCE-RPC.
