Abstract
When an application is installed, a list of one or more communication ports used by the application is received. In addition, a list of communication ports that are currently open in a firewall is received. The two lists are compared to determine if there is a conflict. In response to finding a conflict, a control port option is taken. For example, a control port option may be: 1) where a port management window is displayed that allows the administrator to change the list of one or more communication ports and/or the list of communication ports currently in use, 2) where an auto configuration option window is displayed, or 3) where open communication ports are automatically selected to resolve the conflict. If a conflict is not found, a message is sent to a firewall to automatically open the one or more communication ports for the application.
