The following lists the ports to be used by client-server communications for firewall configuration.
Ports for client-server communications for firewall configuration
Port Secure Port Description
8860 8443 (HTTPS) Communications to the Xpress Insight Management Interface
5432* No change required - PostgreSQL listens for both normal & SSL connections on same port Xpress Insight Server to PostgreSQL (if PostgreSQL is on another machine)
5432* No change required - PostgreSQL listens for both normal & SSL connections on same port

Tableau Server to PostgreSQL (if on different machines)

2513 2515 (SSH) Xpress Insight Server to Execution Worker
80 443 (HTTPS) Tableau from Xpress Insight Client to Tableau Server
80 443 (HTTPS) Xpress Insight Server to Tableau Server (if on different machines)
Note *It is recommended that you deploy Xpress Insight Server, PostgreSQL, and Tableau (if used) on one machine and the Execution Worker on another machine because the latter consumes a high volume of cores and clock cycles. In this case, you do not need to configure port 5432 unless your firewall also prevents localhost loopbacks.
Note If you are using AD or LDAP authentication, the appropriate ports on Xpress Insight and AD/LDAP server must be opened as well.
