Product Servers

TMSP comes with a set of servers, each responsible for a specific task. Assign a unique IP address for each server at various stages of deployment.

Administrative Server

This server hosts the user interface for the product’s web-based administrative console. From this console, you can perform key administrative tasks, such as:

Assign an IP address for the administrative server during the installation process. The administrative server uses port 80 by default. After the installation, log on to the web-based administrative console using the following information:

Portal

The portal is a separate user interface accessed by users who want to view the network’s security status and download reports. These users are typically employees who have a stake in your organization’s IT security but who do not have the authority to manage product settings.

The portal provides a dynamic representation of the network monitored by your threat management solution. It also provides the network’s threat profile and allows users to download reports generated by TMSP.

Assign an IP address for the portal from the configuration wizard, which appears when you log on to the administrative console for the first time. The portal uses port 443 by default.

When you create a customer account, configure the logon credentials (user name and password) for the portal. After you configure the credentials, send the credentials and the portal URL to the users. The portal’s URL is:

https://<Portal IP address>/tms2

For details, see Creating a Customer Account.

Log Server

The log server accepts logs from Threat Discovery Appliance or Threat Mitigator using the rsync protocol. For a list of logs received from both products, see Downloading Registered Product Logs.

Assign an IP address for the status server from the configuration wizard, which appears when you log on to the administrative console for the first time. The status server uses ports 443 and 22 by default.

Central Authentication Server (CAS)

The CAS server authenticates users that log on to the portal and administrative console. It also authenticates registered products before they send logs and data to TMSP.
