Definition

When you define the service, if you select the 'Use external binding program' checkbox, an 'X' is displayed in this column.

Use

Using the external binding program icmbind (or icmbind.exe in Windows), in Unix you can bind ports with numbers less than 1024 without having to run the SAP kernel (that starts the ICM) or the message server with superuser authorization.
