Network Ports

Civic Platform implements standard web communication protocols (HTTP/HTTPS, SSL, and so forth). Use the commonly available communication speed, 1 Gbps for example, for your network communication speed.

The following Civic Platform Configuration Parameters table shows the network communication ports between external Accela hosts. The administrator who installs Civic Platform uses the same configuration checklist (included in the Civic Platform Installation Guide) before running the Civic Platform installer.

Table 1. Civic Platform Component Configuration Parameters
Component	Parameter: (with Example Values)	Your Value
General Recommendation	Have a total of approximately 6 IP addresses available. Note: The actual total of IP addresses depends on whether the Accela core services are installed on separate servers or a multi-homed server.
ColdFusion MX Web Server	Host: aa.Accela-product.accela.com IP address: 10.50.2.1 HTTP port number: 80 HTTPS port number: 443 Wildfly port bind base: 2 SSO cookie domain: .accela.com SMTP mail server: 10.50.1.23 SMTP mail server port number: 25

Note:

For the ColdFusion MX web server, Web Server, Index server, and ADS server - The Port Bind Base is the base number for all other ports except HTTP and HTTPS ports. The value should typically be a single-digit or double-digit between 1~65 (such as 2, 3, etc.), and becomes the ‘thousands’ prefix for all other pre-defined values. The ‘Port Bind Base’ concept applies to the setup of other Accela products. Each Accela product if installed on the same server should have a unique base.
For the Web server and Report server - If the server is on the same host as the application server, they have the same IP address, use a different HTTP port number and HTTPS port number from the ones used for the application server (Setting Up Multiple-Homed Servers).
For the Application server - Application server clients specify port 3080 as the default port for communicating with the application server. Reserve JBoss binding port base 3 for the application server.
For the Accela IVR server - Use unique port numbers for multiple Tomcat instances.
For the Accela Gateway server - Accela Mobile Gateway can support multiple application servers. Each supported application server uses a different IP address or port.

This Internal Communication Ports table lists internal communication ports between the Civic Platform application server and other system servers.

Ports	Servers
<base>080	Biz, CFMX, Web, ADS servers (for http)
<base>443	Biz, CFMX, Web, ADS servers (for https)
<base>445	Biz, Index servers (for Java Messaging Service)
<base>447	Biz, Index servers (for Java Remote Method Invocation)
<base>099	Biz, Index server, CFMX, Web, ADS servers (for Java Naming Provider)

Setting Up Multiple-Homed Servers

Best practices recommend installing Civic Platform using a multi-homed configuration with a physical connection between the host to multiple IP addresses (on the same or different networks). For multiple Accela products on a single physical server, the recommendation is to set up a multi-homed environment with multiple virtual IP addresses. Each Accela service requires a unique TCP/IPv4 address.
