HP Comprehensive Guide to Web Jetadmin and Jetadmin Software Management

In some firewall applications, such as Microsoft Firewall, you can specify a program or executable file as a firewall exception. In these cases, you can define the following file as an exception:

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Web Jetadmin 10\bin\HPWJAService.exe

The firewall on the client system does not require any special consideration because the client application does not listen to a specific port.
