So, they finally responded back and said they do use a certificate and it gets installed on our end. Um, no. It does not install a certificate and pops right up and asks us to check the box to accept all risk. He also said because it is Java it is secure since it isn't a web site.
This is the same company that was out of compliance a couple years ago forcing people to use an EoL version (6.x I think) of Java so I don't have a lot of confidence accepting that just because he says so it is secure.
It does appear that after the initial communication to check for updates it does go to a different port, up in the 28000 range. Not that it is any more secure for anyone monitoring traffic.
