Which port does the STA Agent send login details to the STA collector on by default?

The STA Agent sends login details to the STA collector on port 5566 by default. This port is specifically designated for the communication between the STA agent and the collector, ensuring that the data transmitted is handled securely and effectively.

Using port 5566 allows the STA system to manage user authentication and other log-related functions without overlapping with other common service ports, such as HTTP or HTTPS, which are found on ports 80 and 443 respectively. The use of a designated port minimizes the chances of interference with other services and improves the security posture by limiting the attack surface.
