KC Firewall exceptions

This topic describes the firewall exceptions enterprises must utilize to extend beyond their local and protected network domains to securely connect to the Knox Configure server resources.

Server resources can include the following Knox services:

  • Samsung license Servers — When activating Knox services, devices need to verify their license keys. Devices periodically check their licenses a few times a week.
  • Samsung SDS IAM & EMM — When utilizing an EMM, devices need to access Web based EMM consoles and storage sites.
  • Samsung ActiveSync Server — If using Exchange ActiveSync, you'll require an ActiveSync Server connection for the Email client to reach the ActiveSync Server.
NOTE — For highly regulated enterprises that don't permit connection to an external server, an alternate solution is the on-premise Knox Server. On-premise servers handle license verification within your firewall. Samsung charges an extra fee for this service. For more information, contact your Samsung reseller.

The following table lists the portal exemptions required for each listed Knox server resource:

Ports 443 and 80 must be open within your local network domain to reach Knox server resources.

NOTE - Knox Cloud Services can utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS). This service may also warrant adding to the allowlist within your organization's firewall policy.

For information on the AWS that may require allowlist inclusion, go to: https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json.
