Which port number is utilized for Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Single Sign-On (SSO) feature in SonicWall devices commonly utilizes port 2258 for its operations. This port is specifically designated to facilitate SSO traffic, enabling users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple services without needing to log in again for each service. Understanding the designated ports for specific functions is crucial in configuring a firewall effectively, as it ensures that the proper communication pathways are opened while maintaining security.

Using the correct port helps in ensuring that SSO processes can communicate seamlessly without interference, allowing businesses to implement efficient and secure user authentication methods. The other ports mentioned serve different functions—443 is typically used for secure HTTPS traffic, while 80 is used for standard HTTP, and 8080 is often utilized for alternative web services, but none serve the SSO function specifically.
