Considerations for installing with Docker

  • Docker sensor containers use a bridge network by default. This associates the Docker network with a bridge interface on the host, along with firewall rules to filter traffic between these interfaces.

  • Docker containers that share the same Docker network and host bridge interface but are isolated from each other by a firewall can communicate with each other on the bridge network.

  • To view a list of Docker interfaces, run the docker network ls command.

  • To get information about Docker interfaces, run the docker inspect <docker_container_ID> | grep sensor command.

Network requirements

The sensor must be able to meet the following considerations:

  • Connect outbound to HTTPS (port 443).

  • Resolve the fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) for its host system, either via DNS or a local "hosts" file.

  • Access any external systems that it will integrate with via connectors, or any systems on your network that it will target for certificate lifecycle automation or in network scans.

  • Access the two DigiCert platform URLs for one of the following regions:

    Region

    URLs

    Americas (U.S.A.)

    one.digicert.com, clientauth.one.digicert.com

    APJ (Japan)

    one.digicert.co.jp, clientauth.one.digicert.co.jp

    EMEA (Netherlands)

    one.nl.digicert.com, clientauth.one.nl.digicert.com

    EMEA (Switzerland)

    one.ch.digicert.com, clientauth.one.ch.digicert.com

  • To use the sensor for certificate lifecycle automation and/or certificate cipher discovery, it must also be able to reach the external DigiCert host discovery-service.digicert.com.
