Changing the Systinet Server’s Ports and Passwords (Magic xpa 3.x)

Objective

This Technical Note explains how to configure the Systinet server to use user-defined ports rather than the default ports. The Technical Note then goes on to explain the necessary steps for modifying Systinet’s Admin password.

Implementation Steps

Using User-Defined Ports

To change the port numbers that Systinet uses, the following actions are required:

1. Open %WASP_HOME%\Conf\serverConf.xml.

2. Search for the string 6060; this string appears only once in the following line:
   
   <transport class="com.idoox.transport.http.server.Jetty" classSpace="root.wasp-impl" defaultServer="true" maxIdleTime="2000" maxReadTime="40000" maxThreads="255" minThreads="5" name="http_server" port="6060" preload="true" scheme="http"> </transport>

3. Change the entry from 6060 to your desired port number.

To change the port number used in the SSL configuration (after log-in):

1. Open %WASP_HOME%\Conf\serverConf.xml.

2. Search for httpsPreferences and change the port number:

<httpsPreferences name="https">

<alias>sslalias</alias>

<defaultTimeout>40000</defaultTimeout>

<maxIdleTime>500</maxIdleTime>

<maxReadTime>40000</maxReadTime>

<maxThreads>255</maxThreads>

<minThreads>5</minThreads>

<needsClientAuth>false</needsClientAuth>

<nonProxyHosts>localhost</nonProxyHosts>

<password>changeit</password>

<port>6433</port>

</httpsPreferences>

The same change can also be applied via the Systinet console. The settings are available at:

Server preferences -> Transport settings -> Http/s Server

as shown in the image below.

Both changes require restarting the Systinet server as follows:

1. Test the new settings by logging on to Systinet’s console:

   http://localhost:NewPort

2. After logging in make sure that the URL uses the newly defined port.

Modifying Systinet’s Admin Password

To change Systinet’s Admin password the following steps are needed:

1. Open Systinet’s console and log in.

2. Select Security-> Database of identities as shown in the image below.

3. In the admin user entry, click the Properties button.

   

4. From the Password property, click the Edit entry and submit a new password.

This change takes affect immediately.
