Firewall Ports used by NG & MF

AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS ON:

The main network TCP ports used by PaperCut are:

• 9191 for HTTP connections
• 9192 for secure HTTP/SSL connection
• 9193 for device RPC (only used for embedded copier/MFP solutions)

UDP ports are not used for connections from PaperCut client to the sever, only standard TCP. All connections are made inbound from clients and secondary servers to the primary server. No outbound connections are made by the primary server to any workstation or secondary server.

PaperCut uses standard HTTP XML WebServices for client-server and server-server communication (XML-RPC). Sensitive data is sent over SSL/HTTPS on port 9192. The PaperCut installer on Windows and Mac will endeavor to make sure these ports are open. Linux systems running firewalls may need to manual open these ports to local network IP addresses as appropriate.

Google Cloud Directory

PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF will use Secure LDAP to communicate with the Google Cloud Directory service:

• 636 TCP (LDAPS), with outbound connections to:
  • ldap.google.com

Note: make sure any firewall rules allow “any” as source port for the PaperCut server in this case. The source/client port is dynamically allocated, and not meaningful.

See Synchronize user and group details with Google Cloud Directory for more information on configuring this sync source.

Azure Active Directory with Secure LDAP

PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF will use Secure LDAP to communicate with the Azure Active Directory service:

• 636 TCP (LDAPS), with outbound connections to the Azure LDAP External Address populated in PaperCut, configured in the Azure Portal.

Note: make sure any firewall rules allow “any” as source port for the PaperCut server in this case. The source/client port is dynamically allocated, and not meaningful.

See Synchronize user and group details with Azure AD Secure LDAP for more information on configuring this sync source.

Azure Active Directory with Microsoft Graph

PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF will use SSL to communicate with the Azure Active Directory service:

• 443 TCP, with outbound connections to:
  • graph.microsoft.com

Note: make sure any firewall rules allow “any” as source port for the PaperCut server in this case. The source/client port is dynamically allocated, and not meaningful.

See Synchronize user and group details with standard Azure AD for more information on configuring this sync source.

LDAP Directory Service

PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF can synchronise user accounts from a directory which supports LDAP (e.g. Active Directory, Open Directory, Novell eDirectory, etcetera).

• 389 TCP (LDAP) or 636 TCP (LDAPS)

See  Synchronize user and group details with LDAP for more information on configuring this sync source.
