Reviewing the CDA Server System and Security

You must prepare the Continuous Delivery Automation Server (short: CDA Server) to operate CDA server software.

This page includes the following:

Required Security Setup

Component Configuration
IIS

Default setup:

  • Default port 80 (443 for https)
Connection to the CDA Database

Default setup:

  • Default port 1433 for MS SQL Server

  • Default port 1521 for Oracle Database Server

    • Oracle Data Access Component (ODAC) version x64 must be installed. (Oracle Instant Client)

    • Only component odp.net4 is required (with its dependencies). The Machine wide configuration option must be enabled.

    • After installing Oracle ODAC a server restart is required.

    • Ensure that only a single version of Oracle client is installed. Multiple client versions or versions which were not uninstalled properly might result in conflicts that could cause errors.

    • TNSNAMES.ORA must be configured to access the Oracle Database

See also the database vendors' documentation (MSDN, TechNet, Oracle Documentation Library, etc.)
Connection to the Automation Engine Server

Connection using the following ports must be allowed:

  • Default ports 2217-2221
Connection to the Automic Web Interface

Connection using the following port must be allowed:

  • Default port 8080 (8443 for https)

If an Agent is installed on the CDA server

Be aware that the CDA Server can be used as a deployment target. In this case, you must add these port rules there too, if required.

All ports listed in this section are default ports used during the installation procedure. Any port can be changed, depending on the infrastructure.
