Table 5-3 lists the default ports that are used by each protocol. If necessary, to comply with organization policies
or to avoid contention, you can change which port numbers are used.
Table 5-3. Default Ports
Protocol Port
JMS TCP port 4001
AJP13 TCP port 8009
NOTE AJP13 is used in a security server configuration only.
HTTP TCP port 80
HTTPS TCP port 443
RDP TCP port 3389
For MMR, TCP port 9427 is used alongside RDP.
NOTE If the View Connection Server instance is configured
for direct client connections, these protocols connect directly
from the client to the View desktop and are not tunneled
through the View Secure GW Server component.
SOAP TCP port 80 or 443
