IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Configure port number assignments for the portal server
Communications between Tivoli Enterprise Portal clients and the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server are controlled by a portal server interface definition.
The default interface definition assigns port 15001 to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and ports 15200 (for HTTP requests) and 15201 (for HTTPS) to the integrated Web server that is installed with the portal server. You can define additional interfaces to allow access through a firewall with NAT or through a secondary Network Interface Card (NIC). See Firewall network address translation (NAT) or multiple network interface cards.
The following sections describe how to change port number assignments on the portal server for connections to Tivoli Enterprise Portal clients (browser clients and desktop clients).
- Change the port number for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Service Console
A portal server on Windows, Linux, or UNIX uses port 15200 for HTTP connections and 15201 for HTTPS connections.
- Change the port number for desktop client connections to the portal server
Use the following procedure for each desktop client instance you want to change.
