dispatcher, either the web server or the load balancer. Do not use the host name and port of a
particular cluster member.
The default port is 80. If you use the default port, you can omit

and the port that is assigned to the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Web console. The default port is 443. If you use the default port, you can omit the port number and 443 is
used automatically.
