If the computers that run LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) also run third-party firewall software or hardware, you must open certain ports. These ports are for communication between LUA and the Web console, LiveUpdate client to LUA connections, and communications between the LUA Apache Tomcat server and the LUA PostgreSQL server. See your product documentation for instructions to open ports or allow applications to use ports.
