This article explains how to change the ePO agent-to-server communication secure port.
On a new ePO installation, you can modify the default port value (443) for the agent-to-server communication
secure port entry. The current design doesn't allow you to change this port through the ePO console after the product has been installed. If you need to change the port number after an upgrade from an earlier version of ePO, perform the steps in this article.
This port change affects all managed systems, unless the feature has been disabled in the Server Settings on the ePO server. With this feature enabled (default), you must modify the port setting on each managed MA system (see
step 7 in the Solution). Or, you can redeploy MA to all affected systems.
NOTES:
- There's no automatic port validation for this procedure. You must make sure that the selected port isn't already in use.
- Back up ePO and the ePO database before you change the secure port. This action makes sure that you can revert the setting in the event of any issues.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the process explained in this article, you must back up your ePO server. See the following KB articles for more information:
