  2. Locate the [defaults] section.
  3. Change the port number for HTTPPort and HTTPSPort to a desired port number.

    HTTPPort = 81
    HTTPSPort = 444

  4. Configure the Web server.

    2. Locate the Listen section and change the HTTP port number to the number you set in Step 3.

    Listen HostIP:81

    where:

    • HostIP = The IP Address of the Web server
    1. Change the ServerName value to the same value as the one for Listen.

    ServerName HostIP:81

    HTTPS port for HP Apache Web Server

    1. Using any text editor, open the SWSE_ROOT/conf/ssl.conf file.
    2. Change the HTTPS port numbers in the following section to the port number you set in Step 3.

    Listen 444
    <VirtualHost_default_:444>
    SSLEngine on

    HTTPS port for IBM HTTP Server

    1. Using any text editor, open the SWSE_ROOT/conf/httpd.conf file.
    2. Add the following section before the Virtual Directories section to enable SSL.

    LoadModule ibm_ssl_module modules/mod_ibm_ssl.so
    Listen HostIP:444

    where:

    • HostIP = The IP Address of the Web server
    1. Add the following section at the end of the httpd.conf file, before the Virtual Directories section.

    <VirtualHost HostIP:444>
    SSLEnable
    DocumentRoot $home/$build/web/htdocs/en_US
    ErrorLog logs/ssl_error_log
    CustomLog logs/ssl_access_log common

    </VirtualHost>
    Keyfile $home/$build/web/ssl/key.kdb
