Hi HomerJ,
The ports that ALM uses while installing and on daily basis and should be opened in the firewall are as follows:
In the Installation guide mentions the following:
8080 default JBOSS webserver port,
80 if using IIS web services and hosting,
25 for SMTP mail services
1433 the default database port.
These are the default ports needed for a default installation. If you organization has port conflicts and reserves those ports for other applications, you can change and specify the different ports to make ALM/QC work in such instances and the installation and admin guides provide assistance and guidance in such instances. The majority of users will use the default settings in their installations.
Thanks,
Dan
