Accessing WebSphere Portal through another HTTP port
By default WebSphere® Portal is configured to be accessed through the internal HTTP port in WebSphere Application Server. For example, http://hostname.example.com:10039/wps/portal, where hostname.example.com is the fully qualified host name of the server where Portal is running and 10039 is the default transport port that is created by WebSphere Application Server. The port number might be different for your environment. The default host name and port that is used by WebSphere Portal are specified by the WpsHostName and WpsHostPort properties in the wkplc.properties file.
About this task
After you configure WebSphere Portal to use an external web server, you access the portal with the web server host name and port (for example, 80). For stand-alone servers or vertical cluster members, you are unable to access the portal with the WebSphere Portal host name and port (for example, 10039). You can access it if there is a corresponding virtual host definition for port 10039 in the WebSphere Application Server configuration.
- Modify the WpsHostName and WpsHostPort property values to specify the web server host name and port.
- Add the appropriate virtual host definition.
If you want to access WebSphere Portal with a host name and port different from your web server, add the required virtual host definition with the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console. In a clustered environment, use the deployment manager WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console to complete these steps.
