Configure Primary Functions list

The PCI DSS requires that systems include only one primary function. To report on systems that might be in violation of this requirement, solution administrators and compliance managers can populate a list to define the primary services. Use this information to determine violations.

View the Primary Functions service and ports list:

  1. Select Configure > Content > Content Management.
  2. Click the Primary Functions lookup. The Primary Functions lookup file (primary_functions.csv) appears in a lookup editor.
