Before you install other Access Manager components and import them into Administration Console, or before you log in to Administration Console from a client machine, you must first configure the firewall on Administration Console.

  1. Click Computer > YaST > Security and Users > Firewall.

    This launches the Firewall Configuration screen.

  2. For SLES 15 SP3, click YaST Firewall > Trusted > Ports > Add port and in TCP ports, specify the ports to open.

    (Conditional) If you are installing Administration Console and Identity Server on different machine, list the following additional ports in TCP Ports:

    • 8080

    • 8443

    • 3080

    • 3443

    (Conditional) If you are installing Administration Console and Identity Server on the same machine, list the following additional ports in TCP Ports:

    • 2080
