Appendix B: TCP Ports

When the DSView Client is launched, the Node Manager will become active.

Node Manager will attempt to establish a Security Support Provider Interface

(SSPI) Messenger Class session using TCP/IP over port 2068 to the DSAuth

Server (Authentication Service). First, Node Manager will use the current NT/

2000 cached credentials to establish the session. If the cached credentials have

the proper permissions, the browse list is returned from the DSAuth Server

over TCP/IP port 2068. Note that the DSView Client caches this list. Using the

refresh option will update the list from the DSAuth Server. If the session is

refused using the cached credentials, a pop-up dialog box will prompt for the

proper username and password.
