Title: How To Set and Confirm an Alternate Port for GMM and GMC "BEFORE" installation

Connections from the GMM /GMC Server to the Good Security Operations Center use HTTP and are protected by the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Since the connection is established in the outbound direction, there is no need to create an inbound opening on the corporate firewall.
