RULES System and Port Configuration

The operation of RULES is fully automatic and no configuration is required. RULES obtains its operating parameters directly from the RMS license system, there are no additional duties for an administrator other than opening a port for the RULES server on the system firewall.

The RULES server uses its own port to communicate with RULES applications. The port number is derived from the RMS server port number thus: the RULES server uses the next highest port after the RMS server port. For example, if the RMS server is configured to use port 4545, then the RULES server will automatically use port 4546. The RULES port number cannot be set independently of the RMS port number.
