IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Change the ports used by IHS
Complete the steps outlined in this section to change the ports used by IHS to listen for HTTP/S communication between the client and server.
- On the host of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, change to the following directory:
- itminstall_dir\IHS\CONF
- itminstall_dir/arch/iu/ihs/HTTPServer/conf
- Open the httpd.conf file in a text editor and change the following listen directive:
Listen 15200
ServerName <hostname>:15200
...to...
Listen <http port #>
ServerName <hostname>:<http port #>
...where <http port #> is the new port to use for HTTP communication.
- To change the HTTPS port, change the following listen directive:
Listen 0.0.0.0:15201
to:
Listen 0.0.0.0:<https port #>
...where <https port #> is the new port to use for HTTPS communication.
- Change to the following directory:
- itminstall_dir\CNPSJ\profiles\ITMProfile\config\cells\ITMCell
- itminstall_dir/arch/iw/profiles/ITMProfile/config/cells/ITMCell
- Open the virtualhosts.xml file in a text editor and change the following alias attribute:
<aliases xmi:id="HostAlias_1354390002404" hostname="*" port="15200"/>
...to...
<aliases xmi:id="HostAlias_1354390002404" hostname="*" port="<http port #>"/>
- To change the HTTPS port, change the following alias definition:
<aliases xmi:id="HostAlias_1354390002524" hostname="*" port="15201"/>
...to...
<aliases xmi:id="HostAlias_1354390002524" hostname="*" port="<https port #>"/>
- Restart the portal server to implement these changes.
For the Desktop client and Web Start client, you must explicitly define the new port number. The browser client determines the port based on the URL used to launch the client.
For the desktop client, take the following steps to change the port:
- Open the client launcher in a text editor:
- Edit itminstall_dir\CNP\cnp.bat
- Edit itminstall_dir/arch/cj/bin/cnp.sh
- Locate the line beginning with:
- “set _CMD=”
- ${TEP_JAVA_HOME}
- Add the following parameter to the command-line. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal is configured to use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol to communicate with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, use the HTTP/S parameter. Otherwise, use the IIOP parameter:
- IIOP: -Dcnp.http.url.port=<port #>
- HTTP/S: -Dtep.connection.protocol.url.port=<port #>
where <port #> is the new port to use for communication with the server.
For the Web Start client, take the following steps to change the port:
- On the host of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, change to the following directory:
- itminstall_dir\config. For example, C:\ibm\itm\config
- itminstall_dir/config. For example, /opt/IBM/ITM/config
- Open the tep.jnlpt file in a text editor and make the following changes. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal is configured to use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol to communicate with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, use the HTTP/S parameter. Otherwise, use the IIOP parameter:
Under the <resources> section, add:
- IIOP: <property name="cnp.http.url.port" value="<port #>">
- HTTP/S: <property name="tep.connection.protocol.url.port" value="<port #>"/>
where <port #> is the new port to use for communication with the server.
- You must reconfigure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server for these changes to take effect.
