Order Express

Network Requirements

Overview

Order Express is deployed to end users as a ClickOnce application requiring a "Full Trust" security zone. Because the Order Express binaries are not digitally signed, it is unfortunately not possible to set a deployment policy to allow Order Express to be installed independently of other ClickOnce applications. Because of this, it is suggested (although this is not currently a requirement) that end-users of Order Express have administrative access of their local machine.

Additional information regarding ClickOnce can be found at the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d.aspx

In addition to the requirements of the security policy of the local machine, Order Express also has a number of requirements in terms of network connectivity. At its very core, Order Express is an internet application, relying on its ability to synchronize data to and from remote systems to keep both manufacturers and dealers informed throughout the ordering process.

Order Express must be able to access the following ports on remote machines. In the interest of helping network administrators maintain network security during the deployment of Order Express, the information in the list below is granular enough to reliably identify network traffic from Order Express so that it can be allowed.

Hosts And Ports

• Feature: Status Notifications
  • Host: smtp.gmail.com
  • Ports: 25:TCP, 465:TCP, 587:TCP

• Feature: ClickOnce Install/Update, Setup & Admin (Accessed via Web-Browser), Database Synchronization
  • Host: *.evisionservices.com
  • Ports: 80:TCP, 80:UDP, 443:TCP, 443:UDP, 1433:TCP

• Feature: Catalog Install/Update, Image Install/Update
  • Host: s3.amazonaws.com
  • Ports: 80:TCP 443:TCP

In addition to the above, Order Express must be able to establish/maintain an ongoing connection to a remote SQL Server. While the initial handshake only requires port 1433 (TCP) to be open, additional ports must be available to complete the handshake process.
