The following sections discuss items that should be considered before deploying your application using PDC.
Prizm Services is designed to be run as an internal web service. Steps should be taken to ensure that Prizm Services is not accessible to end-users or the public internet. Typically, this would involve configuring a firewall in-front of Prizm Services to block access to the port it is using. See the "Ports" section below for specific port information about Prizm Services.
Prizm Services includes an API to request real-time information about the state and health of the system. A sample ASP.NET web application is also included in the Windows installation that takes advantage of the administration API and demonstrates potential use cases.
The administration API provides information that can be helpful in diagnosing problems, but which may also be considered sensitive, like document information and specific processing tasks. Because of this, the administration sample or any application accessing the administration API of Prizm Services should not be accessible to end-users or the public internet.
The following are the default ports that should be open to access Prizm Services.
