Hi Nir,
Depends on your authentication mechanism. For example, one way to
authenticate is to use the user credentials in LDAP query - in that case,
you only need to open LDAP (or LDAPs) port from the authenticator to the
domain controller. Kerberos authentication requires Kerberos ports open.
Certificate authentication requires only access to CRLs, which might not
involve any open ports to the infrastructure.
If you are to place full Windows client behing a firewall, then you'll need
to open a bunch f ports - actually, same ports as for the replication - see

As a bare minimum, you'll need Kerberos over UDP, UDP and TCP ports for
LDAP, TCP port for LDAP to GC, DNS ports, RPC portmapper and a single RPC
port from dymnamic range, CIFS direct hosting (445/TCP), and ping (so that
the client can measure link speed and pull the policies)
