ADFS federation server replication ports

Question
-
Hi all,
This is the first time i have trouble to find a Microsoft relate dinfo.
We intend to place 4 federation servers in a HA configuration.
We placed two servers in each site.
The question is : Which port is used for the ADFS servers to replicate the WID database ?

Hi,
By default, the TCP 443 port needs to be opened when deploying the ADFS related service.

For how a WID federation server farm works, you could refer to:

Hi Vivian,
First , thank you for your answer, but unfortunately, it does not answer my question.
My question is about the replication between two ADFS Federation server. I know that the WID database is replicated each 5 minutes between the secondary node(s) and the Primary node. But on which port or ports this replication is done.
That's the question, and i can't find anything on the wire.

Hi,
I also did not found any MS article mentioned about the ports information for the ADFS replication.
Maybe you could ask in ADFS forums for more technical support:

for WID replication the port used is port 80
you will not find any info about this in any MSFT doc. you can test easily though
