Table 5-3 lists the default ports that are used by each protocol. If necessary, to comply with organization
policies or to avoid contention, you can change which port numbers are used.
Table 5‑3. Default Ports
Protocol Port
JMS TCP port 4001
TCP port 4002
AJP13 TCP port 8009
NOTE AJP13 is used in a security server configuration only.
HTTP TCP port 80
HTTPS TCP port 443
RDP TCP port 3389
For MMR, TCP port 9427 is used alongside RDP.
NOTE If the View Connection Server instance is configured for direct client connections, these
protocols connect directly from the client to the remote desktop and are not tunneled through the View
Secure GW Server component.
SOAP TCP port 80 or 443
