Which TCP/IP ports are used by APPX?

The APPX Connection Manager is the only component of APPX that utilizes a TCP/IP port.

The APPX Connection Manager "listens" for connection requests on a configurable, TCP/IP port. The APPX Connection Manager can be configured by a system Administrator to use the port of your choice. The default port is 8060.

On Unix and Linux, the APPX Connection Manager (appxd) runs as a daemon and is typically started by running $APPXPATH/../tools/start-appxd.sh. The desired TCP/IP port can be configured by editing this script.

On Windows, The APPX Connection Manager (appxdsvc.exe) runs as a service. The desired TCP/IP port can be configured via a command line argument when the service is started.
