Good morning,

I will soon be setting up a WAPT Enterprise server and I have a small question regarding firewall rules.

The WAPT documentation prerequisites do not include a flow Source: WAPT Server Destination: Client Computer
So I was wondering how, from the console, an action like forced deployment could be performed?

The client opens a WebSocket connection to the server. The server then reuses this WebSocket connection to send notifications, such as when an update is launched. Therefore, there's no need to open a firewall connection since the client initiates the connection.

Thank you for your reply. I have another quick question. :)

Is it possible to change the frequency at which the agent calls the server?

Sincerely,

Eliott.

I don't really understand the question... The websocket connection remains established as long as the connection to the server is possible, and a regular ping pong takes place to keep the connection up in the conntrack tables on the various active network elements between the two.
