Help with ports configuration please

I'm in the process of setting up our 10.7.2 Lion server for remote iPad Mobile Device Management. The server will sit behind a corporate firewall. At the same time the machine is providing:

- Internal File Sharing

- Internal Policy Management for Macs

- Software update services (possibly)

The SERVER firewall is turned on currently but at the default/minimum port configuration.

Can anyone offer a port "recipe" (essential ports to open only) for the aforementioned Services?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Jonthan thanks. Port #'s and descriptions, while helpful, don't tell me whether, for example, SSH or Kerberos are needed for what I'm trying to do. Somebody from a diferent site offered the following requisites though:

file sharing:

548 -AFP

138-139 - SAMBA

88 - Kerberos

123 NTP

389 - LDAP

8088 - software update server

Master.Of.Disaster: That helps narrow things further thanks. Somehow missed that. Some of the ports in question for me are:

88	Kerberos V5 KDC	TCP/UDP	What Authentication?
113	Authentication Service	TCP	What Authentication?
389	Directory Access: LDAP	TCP	Need to pull files?
138	NETBIOS datagram - Windows Browsing	TCP/UDP	?
139	SMB/CIFS - Windows File Service	TCP/UDP	Needed to pull files?
22	SSH Secure Shell	TCP/UDP	?

Out iPad users are interested in bulling PowerPoint presentations from either AD or OD directories. Would love to see someone put together a more concise (or novice friendly) mapping to services offered on the box.

Hi,

Try this:

- Kerberos: Authentification: Password

- Other things: visit: http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/pdf/iPad_Deployment_Scenarios.pdf

This link is for iPads in business.
