Technical Details

what runs on :6632

The server listens over TCP, normally on port 6632, for connections from the corresponding eGenix mxODBC Connect client. It uses a product-specific client/server protocol, not a standard database wire protocol, and relays client database operations to ODBC drivers and data sources available to the server. SSL-secured connections are supported when configured; the port number alone does not indicate that a connection is encrypted.

security overview

An exposed listener can provide remote access to configured databases, so restrict it to trusted client networks and require appropriate authentication. Do not assume traffic is encrypted by default: configure the product's SSL support when connections cross untrusted networks, and keep the server and its database credentials protected.
