Keystore Port Number

[Prab]

With regards to Licence management, Sparx Keystore Service is by default configured to run on a particular port. Can this port number be changed? If yes, how?

[Eve]

There's a config file that it reads when starting.

Further information should be included with your install.

The install guide does tell me the default port number, but not any further details on whether I can change the default port or not.

I am referring to two documents. KeyStore-Used Guide.pdf and KeyStore-Visual Quick Start Guide.pdf. Is there any other document that I should refer to?

The default TCP port for the Keystore Service is 7770.

The SERVER_PORT value can be set in the keystoreService.config file as described in the Keystore Service User Guide document.

Refer to the user guide for more information on setting the SERVER_PORT property under the "Configure the Keystore Service" chapter.

Thanks Aaron.

I have read the document. Can I change the default port from 7770 to 443 (for example)?

[Aaron B]

As far as I am aware you can set the port to whatever value you wish, as long as that port is available and not being used by something else already.  I would not suggest setting the value to a port that is normally used by other protocols.  I think port 443 is normally used for HTTPS (SSL/TLS).

So in other words - maybe, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks Aaron.
