# ABS ports

API Behavioral Security (ABS) uses ports 8080 and 27017. The table below shows a description of each port.

| Port number | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

| 8080        | This port is used by API Security Enforcer (ASE) to log in to ABS and also used by Postman to access data to generate application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">&#xA;\<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>&#xA;\</div>)* reports |
| 27017       | Default port for MongoDB                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

## Check and open MongoDB default port

MongoDB's default port for connection with ABS is 27017. Run the `check_ports_abs.sh` script on the ABS machine to determine whether MongoDB's default port is available. Provide MongoDB host IP address and default port as arguments. For example:`/opt/pingidentity/abs/util/check_ports_abs.sh \{MongoDB IPv4:[port]}`

## Check and open MongoDB default port

Run the `check_ports_abs.sh` script on the ABS machine to determine whether MongoDB's default port is available. Input the MongoDB host IP address and default port (27017) as arguments. For example:

`/opt/pingidentity/util/check_ports_abs.sh \{MongoDB IPv4:[port]}`

Run the script for MongoDB primary and secondary nodes. If the default ports are not accessible, open the port from the MongoDB machine.
