Default ports for Web Administration Tool

Edit online

To avoid port conflicts of ports between Web Administration Tool and other applications, you must know the default ports that are used by Web Administration Tool.

Note:
  • If you have the default TDSWebAdminProfile, the ports defined in this section are valid.
  • If you created the Typical Profile by using the Profile Management Tool in WebSphere, check the port numbers in Port number settings.
  • If you create a custom profile, you must manually check port numbers in the following files:
    On Windows
    <WAS-Profile-Path>\logs\AboutThisProfile.txt
    On Linux and AIX
    <WAS-Profile-Path>\logs\AboutThisProfile.txt

WebSphere® Application Server uses the following default port settings for Web Administration Tool:

  • HTTP Transport (port 1): 12100
  • HTTPS Transport (port 2): 12101
  • Admin Console (for administering WebSphere Application Server) port: 12104
  • Secure Admin Console (for administering WebSphere Application Server) port: 12105

WebSphere Application Server uses the following default port settings for other applications:

  • Bootstrap/rmi port: 12102
  • Soap connector port: 12103

The other port numbers that might be used by WebSphere Application Server: 9405, 9406, 9407, 9375, 9105, 7276, 7286, 5558, 5577, 5075, 5076.

If a port conflict exists with another application that might be using one or more of the default ports, take one of the following actions that is appropriate for your environment:

  • Change the default ports to unused ports, and start the application the unused port.
  • If the application that is using the default ports is not an important service or server, change its port number and free the default port.

To change the default port numbers that WebSphere Application Server initializes for application, you must set appropriate port number in the portdef.props file. The portdef.props file is in the profiles\TDSWebAdminProfile\properties directory of the WebSphere Application Server installation location.
