HTTP provider service of the Java dispatcher cannot be bound to port 443

217 Views

Hi all,

I am running NW04s SPS09 on Linux. I would like to have the HTTPS connections to be established on TCP port 443, thus I modified the Ports property of the http service of the dispatcher as follows:

Ports = (Port:50000,Type:http)(Port:443,Type:ssl)

Doing so, I listed all ports used by the instance and this is what I get:

Ports used by the ClusterManager:

50000 --> http

50002 --> iiop

50003 --> iiop|ssl

50004 --> p4

50005 --> p4|httptunneling

50006 --> p4|ssl

50007 --> iiop

50008 --> telnet

50010 --> jms_provider

i.e. there is no port for the http|ssl .

If I reset the Ports property to its default value I get:

Ports used by the ClusterManager:

50000 --> http

50001 --> http|ssl

50002 --> iiop

50003 --> iiop|ssl

50004 --> p4

50005 --> p4|httptunneling

50006 --> p4|ssl

50007 --> iiop

50008 --> telnet

50010 --> jms_provider

Obviously, there is some problem with binding to ports < 1024, which in UNIX OSs requires root user privileges.

Does anyone know how this can be configured?

Thanks in advance,
