Solve : TOMCAT Port 443?

1.	Solve : TOMCAT Port 443?
Answer» I have tomcat installed as a non-root user on IBM AIX [not Linux]. I want to use SSL Port 443, and not the default of 8443. For Linux, you can use IPTABLES, how about AIX workaround? Thx in advanceSorry, I can't help you. I suppose you mean the Apache Tomcat Quote Apache Tomcat (or Jakarta Tomcat or simply Tomcat) is an open source servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Oracle Corporation, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run. Tomcat should not be confused with the Apache web server, which is a C implementation of an HTTP web server; these two web servers are not bundled together, although they are frequently used together as part of a server application stack. Apache Tomcat includes tools for CONFIGURATION and management, but can also be configured by editing XML configuration files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Tomcat You MAY do better by going to a forum that deals with the topic. ApacheTomcat5 - Community Ubuntu DocumentationIts been a while SINCE I played with apache tomcat, but I thought you could alter the httpd.conf file to change port number to whatever you want it to be. But havent played with IBM AIX to be able to help further. Also you state that you are a non-root user, guessing you can runas aka sudo admin to make the change since you are the admin of the network? You will need higher level privileges probably to make this change to the config file unless you have been given privileges to read/write to this config file.I got the ANSWER from TOMCAT subscriber list, it seems that if not Linux, one must recompile from source specifying the port 443. Not a great way to do things, but since it's not mandatory, will leave it as default 8443.
