Due to data loss from another agency here at the State of Utah, there has been a huge push to increase security. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Soon, by default new server machines are isolated on the network. &nbsp; &nbsp;They can't talk in or out even to other machines on the network without&nbsp;explicit&nbsp;permissions granted in the firewall. &nbsp;&nbsp;

I would be nice to have in the&nbsp;documentation&nbsp;wiki a single page that deal with network communication (Ports used, who talks to who) and authentication issues for security. &nbsp; &nbsp; For example by default the passwords for the site are sent using HTTP (Clear Text). &nbsp;&nbsp;

I would think that for security purposes (Especially&nbsp;if you use LDAP) &nbsp;that the configuration is the recommended configuration would be to use HTTPS. &nbsp; This does not need to be done by the installation because certificate management is a pain, but it might be nice to see documented.

Hi Robert,   
Here’s a quick rundown of the security and networking details: [http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Networking+and+Security](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Networking+and+Security)   
  
Please let me know if that doesn’t contain enough useful info.   
  
Cheers,
