Change Listening Ports on your IMS Server

TAM ESSO IMS Server listens on ports 80 and 443 by default. Typically this is perfectly fine. However, you may have a situation in which you need to change these default ports and it is not well documented how to do this.

1.)Edit the server.xml file located at :\Encentuate\IMSServer8.x.x.x\conf

The following is an excerpt from my server.xml file. The lines to change are in bold. In my case I changed the default listening port to 89 and the redirect and connector port to 1443.

Connector
port="89"
minProcessors="5"
maxProcessors="400"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="1443"
acceptCount="100"
debug="0"
server="EWS/2.0"
connectionTimeout="20000"
useURIValidationHack="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true"
algorithm="IbmX509"

Connector
port="1443"
minProcessors="400"
maxProcessors="800"
enableLookups="false"
acceptCount="100"
debug="0"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
useURIValidationHack="false"
disableUploadTimeout="true"
clientAuth="false"
keystoreFile="ims/certs/keystore/ssl_keystore"
SSLImplementation="encentuate.tomcat.EncentuateSslImpl"
algorithm="IbmX509"
keyAlias="ims"
sslProtocol="SSL_TLS"
ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5,SSL_RS


2.)Edit the accessAnywhere.properties file at :\Encentuate\IMSServer8.x.x.x\ims\config

Modify the port setting in the following stanza:
# The IMS Server's SSL port
IMS_SERVER_SSL_PORT=1443

3.)Restart the IMS Server for changes to take effect.
