# Network security and firewall requirements

The network security and firewall must meet the following requirements:

* Ports `80` and `443` should be open to inbound traffic.
* The application server must have network connectivity to the database server and port.

**Note:** The default installation includes a signed certificate for HTTPS enablement on port `443`. However, if desired, you can obtain an SSL certificate from a certificate authority.
