Network access
To view the application webpage, the host system must be reachable within the network. Ports 8080 and 443 must be opened on the host system.
The host system must be able to reach the systems that Interchange is integrating with via APIs. For a Jama Connect to Jira integration, both connectors use the REST API to integrate data. In this case, the host system must be able to reach both Jama Connect and Jira via the network on port 443.
