Technical Details

what runs on :12302

RAD listens on TCP port 12302 for its remote administration protocol. Clients exchange structured, JSON-based requests with RAD interfaces to query or change system configuration and runtime state; remote communication is protected with TLS. The service is specific to Solaris and is not a general-purpose web or shell service.

security overview

A reachable RAD service exposes a sensitive system-management interface, so successful access may permit inspection or modification of host configuration and runtime state. TLS and authentication protect the intended remote-access workflow, but the service should still be limited to trusted management networks rather than exposed to the internet.
