Firewall Rules for Active Directory
If you have a firewall between your View environment and your Active Directory server, you must make
sure that all of the necessary ports are opened.
For example, View Connection Server must be able to access the Active Directory Global Catalog and
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. If the Global Catalog and LDAP ports are blocked
by your firewall software, administrators will have problems configuring user entitlements.
See the Microsoft documentation for your Active Directory server version for information about the ports
that must be opened for Active Directory to function correctly through a firewall.
