Direct TCP port communications can be used to transfer information back and forth between client and server. This allows the CAPTUREit Server to pass through firewalls with some configuration.
The communication method used implements the Rijndael method for encryption of data, using the Diffie-Helman key exchange to exchange encryption keys between the client and server. Rijndael is the encryption standard for the U.S. government and has been approved for the transfer of top-secret information by the National Security Agency. For more information about Rijndael, see theWikipedia article (http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Aes).
To successfully implement port communication between CAPTUREit and CAPTUREit Server:
-
CAPTUREit Server must be set up to accept communication via port. For more information about setting up CAPTUREit Server for port communication, see Configure CAPTUREit Server for Port Communication.
-
CAPTUREit must be set up to accept communication via a port. For more information about setting up CAPTUREit for port communication, see Configure CAPTUREit for Port Communication.
-
Firewall configuration is required. For more information about setting up the firewall for port communication, see Configure the Windows Firewall for Port Communication.
