Important - These Endpoint Security clients cannot connect to a SecurePlatform gateway
when the WebUI is configured to use port 443:

• SecureClient (Visitor mode only)
• Endpoint Connect
• Endpoint Security VPN client (R75)
• Remote Access VPN clients (E75.10 and above)

You must configure the SecurePlatform WebUI to use a different port for management
connections when using Endpoint Security clients.
