I too have wondered this many times. I’ve deployed AEA to multiple servers now and find the task of manually configuring the firewall to be quite tedious. I sure would be nice to see this fixed.
Thanks for this info, Edj. I’m sure you’ve saved me hours of digging to figure out what is wrong with my equipment only to learn it is an oversight on the Dev side.
BTW - question for you guys… if I close port 16135 on the AEA server, will the clients be forced out to the internet for definition updates and program updates? If so, is there a negative for doing that? Several of my offices have slow WAN links, but fast internet access. They can see the AEA all the time, but I want to force updates to the Internet. Is there anything else that port 16135 does beside supplying VPS and program updates to the clients?
