Configuring the Default HTTP and HTTPS Ports for the Web Server

The default HTTP and HTTPS ports for the Web server are port 80 and 443. When you deploy SWSE onto the Web server, and if you want to use nondefault port numbers, then use the following procedure to configure these ports.

The HTTP and HTTPS port numbers specified in the eapps.cfg file apply to the virtual Web site that you are using for Siebel Business Applications. For any custom virtual Web site name, the port numbers that you specify cannot be the same as the corresponding port numbers that are already in use for Default Web Site. For more information, see Configuring the SWSE Logical Profile.

For information about using port numbers in secure deployments and about configuring Transport Layer Security (TLS) for Siebel CRM, see Siebel Security Guide.

This topic is part of Additional Tasks for the Siebel Web Server Extension and the Web Server.

To configure the default ports for HTTP and HTTPS

1. Open the eapps.cfg file.

   For more information, see Editing the SWSE Configuration File (eapps.cfg).

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

   HTTPPort = 81
   HTTPSPort = 444

   NOTE:  Alternatively, update these ports by re-creating and reapplying the SWSE logical profile.

4. Configure the Web server:
   1. On the Microsoft IIS computer, navigate to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and then Internet Information Services.
   2. In the right panel, double-click the local computer name.
   3. In the right panel, double-click Web Sites.
5. Double-click in the right panel the name of the virtual Web site that you are using for the Siebel applications, such as Siebel or Default Web Site.
6. In the Web Site tab, change the values for the TCP Port and SSL Port to the same values that you set in Step 3.
