By default, Remote Application Server will install with a Secure Client Gateway and a Publishing Agent. There can only be one master Publishing Agent in a farm; however, multiple Client Secure Gateway access points and resource publishing agents (RDSH Agent) can be deployed where needed.

Below are the firewall requirements for each of the separate Remote Application Server functions:

All Components TCP 135, 445 - remote agent push.

Relating to components tables below:

• External Ports should be enabled and allow incoming traffic from all network nodes.
• Internal Ports need not be enabled for access from the WAN or Internet since they are communication ports for Remote Application Server functions and modules.

 

SECURE CLIENT GATEWAY

Type	Protocol	Port	Commentary
External	TCP	80
External	UDP	80	If RDP-UDP is enabled
External	TCP	443	If SSL is enabled
External	UDP	443	If SSL and RDP-UDP is enabled
External	TCP	3389	If RDP load balancing is enabled
External	TCP	20009	If Client Manager is enabled
External	UDP	20009	If Client Manager is enabled
Internal	UDP	20000	Gateway Lookup
Internal	TCP	30020	Remote agent pushing
Internal	TCP	49179	Remote Install Push/Takeover of Software
Localhost	TCP	20020	Communication with NodeJS web server

 

NOTE: By default, RDP load balancing is not available on 3389 port for RAS Secure Client Gateway as this feature is not enabled and thus Gateway is not listening for it.

However, there is a possibility to enable it. Connections on this port will not support published items as it's strictly for RDP load balancing.

By default this port is used only on RD Session Hosts. (see below - Remote Desktop Session Host Agent)
