Default Ports
These defaults Below are the default ports that are created when you install Continua. These values can be changed either at install time, or afterwards by modifying the relevant config file and restarting the service.

specified configuration files. Note that it is highly recommended that you backup the configuration file before any changes are made.
The server and agent configuration files can be located in the following locations:
- Server Configuration file: <install_dir>/VSoft Technologies/ContinuaCI/Server/Continua.Server.Service.exe.config
- Agent Configuration file: <install_dir>/VSoft Technologies/ContinuaCI Agent/Continua.Agent.Service.exe.config

*SSH access is optional, however agents In addition, the agents must be able to access files on the server via either SSH or a UNC share on the server. See below for more info.
Note that if you change the server port or the server ssh port then the server ports on all of the agents must then point to the new port.
Services
At install time, you specify which Windows user the The Server and Agent services run as. We do not use Local System because both run under the Windows user that was specified during the installers. Continua does not use the Local System user an many external tools (version control systemsVersion Control Systems, build tools, etc.) expect to must be run in a user context, and some require configuration that can only be performed by logging in as a user.
Shares
.
Shares and SSH
Files can be transported between the agent and server via a UNC share or via SSH.
A UNC share is preferred if the server and all the agents are on the same domain as this will perform significantly faster than SSH. The server must have a data share which is responsible for storing all repository and build information that is required to run and access builds successfully. Check out our Server Data Share page for more information.
Each agent must be run under a Windows user that has access to both the agent workspace and the server data share. Each agent only accesses its own workspace and the server data share. The agent does not need its own share nor should any agents access other agent workspaces.
Continua CI also ships with The Server must have a share (by default \\localhost\ContinuaShare) where the repository caches and build workspaces are stored. The user that the Agent service runs as must have read/write access to this share. We are working on an embedded SSH server for communication between the Server and Agent, which will mean means that access to the share can be locked down. This is not required. Within a domain a share will perform significantly faster than SSH.
The Agent does not require any externally accessible shares.
useful if you are working in a more secure network or if your agents are not on the same domain as your sever.
HTTPS
It is possible to enable HTTPS in IIS for use with Continua CI. Please see this IIS Config guide for more details: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/144/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis/#IISManager
