The DSView management software establishes a connection using TCP/IP port 2068, and uses the
same process for authentication and return of the browse list.
Whenever a DS appliance is added or removed or the properties of a DS appliance are changed, the
changes are communicated from the DSView management software to the DSAuth Server database
using TCP/IP port 8190. This port is also used by the DSView management software to retrieve
information from the DSAuth Server database.
The adding or removing of appliances will cause the browse list to change. Once the changes made
in the DSView management software are communicated back to the DSAuth Server database using
port 8190, the DSView management software refreshes its browse list view over the TCP/IP port
2068 connection.
When the backup Authentication Service is active, it communicates with the Primary
Authentication Service via TCP port 8193. Changes to the topology are copied to and from the
Primary over this port.
