Can you tell me what hostnames and ports are used by SLPS for activation etc? We need to know for customers who need to open up their firewall/web filter.
SLP Online Service
For the normal SLP Online service, all web services calls go to srv.softwarepotential.com and use standard SOAP. Specifically,
- Activation calls from the SLPS Runtime on end-user machines etc. (i.e., SLPS-protected code which requires activation by key) travel (over standard port 80) to
http://srv.softwarepotential.com/SLMServerWS/ActivationWS.svc
It is thus important that client firewalls etc. let normal calls to http://srv.softwarepotential.com [on port 80] through unimpeded
- Calls to the licensing APIs (for automation of license issuance, if you are integrating with your end-to-end software distribution system etc.) travel over HTTPS (over standard port 443) to https://srv.softwarepotential.com/SLMServerWS/LicenseManagementWS.svc
The SLP Online Portal is at https://my.softwarepotential.com (on standard port 443).
SLP Server
For SLP Server users, substitute <softwarepotential.com> in the above URLs with your <server name> e.g. for a hostname <acme.com> the activation URL would be
https://srv.acme.com/SLMServerWS/LicenseManagementWS.svc
(NB: SLP Server is the self-hosted version of the SLP Online Service, and is not the normal usage case of SLPS)
