Palo Alto

Create the service objects for this port, then allow the App-ID on it. Restricting the rule to the port's service object keeps the rule working on a non-default port and stops the App-ID matching on other ports. Replace the placeholders with your own rule name and zones.

Risk and exposure

Rated medium risk. Restrict this port to the sources that need it and keep the service patched; avoid exposing it to the whole internet unless the service is meant to be public.
