Ports for the Enterprise Single Sign-On Servers

For complete information about securing your BizTalk Server deployment, see Sample BizTalk Server Architectures.

The following table lists the ports that an Enterprise Single Sign-On server in the processing domain need to access the master secret server and the SSO database. You must open these ports both for inbound and outbound traffic.

Service or Application context Destination Server Destination Service Port Protocol Reason
Logged on user SSO database SQL Server 1433 TCP To create and connect to the SSO database.
Single Sign-On service account Master secret server Single Sign-On service 135 TCP Transacted connection to SQL Server for the Single Sign-On service to retrieve the master secret key from the master secret server
Single Sign-On service account Master secret server Single Sign-On service 49152-65535 TCP Secondary RPC ports used to retrieve the secret key from the master secret server. Note: You can change to larger dynamic port range or better use fixed port for MSDTC and EntSSO services.

The following table lists the ports you must configure for the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) master secret server to access the services it needs. The firewall on which you need to open the ports depends on where the destination server is in your architecture. You must open these ports both for inbound and outbound traffic.
