X.509 authentication to MSS via Centralized Management

8000

Used by Desktop products when Centralized Management is enabled and by Reflection for the Web/MSS applets for X.509 authentication by end users.

X.509 trusted subsystem (multiple servers)

8003

Used by MSS and HACloud to perform privileged administrative operations.

NOTE:The x509 port 8000 and the trusted subsystem port 8003 behave similarly. Both require x509 client authentication. However, they use different trust stores and the operations that can be executed via those ports differ.
