====Firewall Ports====
Platform Application Servers are typically deployed behind a Firewall. The firewall needs to open the ports those servers use. 

The default ports are:
:* Non SSL port 80
:* SSL port 443

The SSL port always needs to be open. If the application is to be accessed only using https, the http port can be blocked. If the platform's [[Sites]] capability will be used to provide a public URL, then the http port needs to be open.

{{Note | For secure communication, you should always access the platform using SSL (https://yourdomain/networking/Service). The platform provides a default self-signed certificate which is used by the Application Server. This certificate can be replaced with your own certificate, purchased from a certificate-signing authority. For more instructions on that process, see [[Managing SSL Certificates]].}}

====Changing Port Assignments====
To change port assignments:
# Edit the following files available in <tt>{install-dir}/profiles/IS_default/configuration/com.softwareag.platform.config.propsloader</tt> as follows:
:*com.softwareag.catalina.connector.http.pid-agileappsHttp-8283.properties - In this file, set the '''port''' value to 80 and '''redirectPort''' value to 443.  
:*com.softwareag.catalina.connector.https.pid-agileappsHttps-8284.properties - In this file, set the '''port''' value to 443.
'''Note:''' If you change the http port (80), you will need to specify the port number in the URLs for the document servers recorded in the database. To see those values:
:{|
<pre>
Mysql> SELECT document_server,import_document_server,public_document_server 
       FROM relationals.NETWORK_GLOBAL_PROPERTIES;
</pre>
|}
Those URLs are read when an application server starts, and used as the forwarding-target for document-access requests.
