Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP)
636 TCP/UDP
Secure version of LDAP that uses SSL/TLS for
encryption.
LDAP Secure

FTPS uses TLS for encryption. It can run on ports
20/21 but is sometimes allocated to ports 989/990.
File Transfer Protocol Secure
(FTPS)
993 TCP
Secure version of IMAP with SSL/TLS encryption
Internet Message Access
Protocol Secure (IMAPS)
1812 / 1813 UDP
