Question An external IP address has been dedicated to the IPMI port (motherboard X8DTU-F, Ami IPMI firmware). When I try to initialize the console, I get an error: "Error while initializing SSL for HID socket." Ports 80,443 and 5901 are open in the firewall. Is there something else I need to get going for SSL usage? Answer There are a few more ports you need to open. You are probably getting the error because the HID port is not open. Please find the port list below: TCP Ports HTTP: 80 HTTPS: 443 Video - 5901 Hid – 5900 (Human Interface Device) port is the KBD/mouse port. CD – 5120 Floppy – 5123 UDP ports: IPMI: 623 Was this FAQ helpful? YES      NO Enter Comments Below: Note: Your comments/feedback should be limited to this FAQ only.
