The Problem with Powerweb

Page 5: A thin-client, flexible Fortis rendering engine. What is Fortis Portal Fortis Portal is a rendering engine with a simplistic, thin-client interface designed

• Fortis Portal communicates with the Fortis Server entirely over port 80 (HTTP) by utilizing web services.

• Powerweb requires 1433 (SQL), 138, 139 (SMB, Network file sharing).

• Fortis Portal displays documents as PDF’s, so only a PDF viewer is required on the end user.

• Powerweb requires that an ActiveX control is installed, meaning that the end user must be running a Windows OS, running Internet Explorer, and has local rights to his or her machine to install an Active X control.
