Ports and Addresses

You can specify which IP addresses and port the RiskFilter System Management Console will bind to. This is useful if you want to have two interfaces on the machine. For example, you could have RiskFilter on a public network. One interface could be a public one yet the other can be on a private network. Setting up RiskFilter to only bind to the private network which will prevent access by the general public. By default, RiskFilter System Management Console runs on port 10000 but this can be changed to help hide it. Acceptable values for port numbers are between 1024 and 65356.
