Hi,
Sorry for not answering before, but I was away for few days. There
were two reasons why I started to use the non-standard port 9443:
- SFT server normally runs on a MONBOX machine, where port 8443 is
occupied by R-GMA (secure connector of tomcat) and I don't want to
run SFT report page under tomcat
- ports below 1024 are not allowed at CERN for incoming access for
grid machines, and I didn't want to ask for special access
I didn't realise that this will cause problems - but obviously I was
wrong. I will try to figure out which port from the standard EGEE/LCG
list I can use on SFT server and I will then configure it as
additional port where SFT reports can be accessed. But this will take
some time (by monday?)
