Portfolio requires a number of ports on your server for client connections and server administration.
The ports used by Portfolio must not conflict with other applications on the server. Typically, you will not need to change these port settings.
External ports must be opened in the host system’s firewall and operating system. The process of opening ports varies by operating system. Please refer to your operating system and firewall documentation for more information.
| Port | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio Server HTTP Port | 8090 | External communication with Portfolio Web and Desktop clients |
| Portfolio Server SSL Port | 9443 | Secure external communication with Portfolio Web and Desktop clients |
| Portfolio Admin HTTP Port | 8091 | External communication with Portfolio Administration |
| Portfolio Admin SSL Port | 9453 | Secure external communication with Portfolio Administration |
Portfolio Web and Desktop client users can utilize the default client port (8090), or if enabled using a custom security certificate, the SSL encrypted port (9443). The encrypted port has slightly degraded performance due to the encryption between Portfolio clients and the Portfolio server. You may want to direct users to connect using the standard Web client port while working on your internal network behind a firewall, and only allow SSL client connections from outside your network.
Provide your Portfolio users the following information to log on to the server:
The server IP address or DNS name.
The client port number. The default client port value is 8090. If enabled with a custom security certificate, the secure (SSL) client port default value is 9443.
Their Portfolio username and password.
The server administrator connects to Portfolio Administration using either the default HTTP (8091) or HTTPS (9453) ports.
In order to log in to the Administration application, you need:
The server IP address or DNS name.
The Administration port number. Use the Administration port (default value 8091) or the secure (SSL) Administration port (default value 9453).
The Portfolio Administrator account password, or a Catalog Administrator account name and password.
Note: Portfolio Administration does not accept Directory Service-authenticated logins. In order for a Catalog Administrator to use Portfolio Administration, they must have a native Portfolio account.
The Portfolio installer checks to see if the Portfolio Admin HTTP Port (8091) is bound to any other application. If it is already taken, then another available port is chosen before the Administration application starts.
After installation, verify that the Administration application opened using the default port 8091. If a different port is used, it is possible that you have port conflicts. The installer registers any port conflicts in the extensis.admin.log file.
Portfolio uses standard JBoss and Tomcat ports, so if your server has other applications that are built using these technologies, you may need to change Portfolio’s port numbers.
To update port numbers used by Portfolio:
Click Global Settings, then click Ports.
For each port that requires a new port number, click Change, enter a new port number, then click Save.
Click Restart Portfolio at the bottom of the Ports page.
