The AdminServer, through its default port 20931 as shown in the diagram, processes start, stop, and query requests initiated from a requesting OpenEdge product. Similarly, the database, NameServer, AppServer, and WebSpeed brokers have their own default ports.
As part of setting up and maintaining security measures for your machines, it is advisable to change default port numbers and server names. Doing so helps to protect the identities of these ports from personnel outside your organization. You might also consider documenting and monitoring all of your ports (that is, the port numbers and types) that you use for the AdminServer.
The dotted lines connecting the ubroker.properties file and conmgr.properties file to their respective OpenEdge products is intended to indicate that the commands entered and accepted either through OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer or the mergeprop utility directly affect the data stored in the ubroker.properties file or conmgr.properties file.
Ensure that you backup the ubroker.properties and conmgr.properties files periodically because they contain the detailed configuration data for each OpenEdge product.
