Technical Details

what runs on :6404

The IANA assignment identifies this as a Business Objects Enterprise internal server, and the service handle indicates the file-server role. In a BusinessObjects deployment, file repository services handle platform content such as documents and report files; this is a product-specific endpoint, not a standard protocol such as FTP or SMB. The IANA record does not specify a transport, and the exact listener configuration can depend on the deployment.

security overview

Treat it as an internal application service and restrict access to trusted BusinessObjects components and administrators. Repository content may be sensitive, and exposing an internal endpoint to the internet is unnecessary; use the platform’s supported access paths and security controls instead.
