# System and Software Requirements

## EPCS Server System Requirements

⚠️ Important

Do not install the RapidIdentity MFA Server on the same server running Microsoft SharePoint.

Ensure the RapidIdentity MFA Server host meets or exceeds the minimum requirements listed below:

- Microsoft® Windows 2016 Server or higher
- RapidIdentity may be deployed to servers operating as domain controllers or member servers; however, it is not recommended to deploy on a domain controller if possible
- RapidIdentity may be deployed to physical servers, virtual servers, or both
- IIS 7.0 or higher
- Microsoft SQL Server or SQL 2016 or higher
- Dual-core Pentium compatible 2GHz processor or faster per core
- 8GB RAM
- .NET Framework 3.5.1 and 4.5
- 120 MB of available hard disk space for RapidIdentity MFA Server

#### Firewall Ports

| **Ports** | **Protocol(s)** | **Purpose** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **80, 443** | TCP | Must be allowed through any firewall where communication to the RapidIdentity Server is required |
| **1433** | TCP | SQL communication |
| **2195, 5228, 5229, 5230** | TCP UDP | PingMe communication |
| **1812, 1813** | UDP | RADIUS *Only needed if installing Network Policy Server (NPS) on the same server. e.g. To accommodate OTP to VPN authentication or for a number of other integration points.* |

#### Timezone Settings

When setting up environments with multiple servers, such as the use case of configuring HealthCast EPCS Server to work with a DMZ, it's imperative that all servers in the environment use the same timestamps and timezone settings.

For help in configuring the time settings, see [Windows' Time Service Tools and Settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/windows-time-service/windows-time-service-tools-and-settings).

## EPCS Client System Requirements

Ensure the RapidIdentity MFA Client host meets or exceeds the minimum requirements listed below:

- It is strongly recommended that the selected system meet the minimum requirements recommended by Microsoft
  - [Windows 10 Requirements](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028142/windows-windows-10-system-requirements)

- 120 MB to 400 MB of available hard disk space for RapidIdentity MFA Client depending on which installer is used
- 90 MB of available hard disk space for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or higher
- 10 MB of available hard disk space for smart card reader driver and utilities
