Disable the HTTP port

Enforcing HTTPS communication and web access and logon does not disable the HTTP port. If a user or a target attempts to access the server on port 80, they are redirected to HTTPS for logon or callhome. You can disable HTTP completely on the web server. To disable HTTP, set the Server Port on Webserver field in the installer screens, or the HTTP port field in the BigFix® Remote Control Server Installer Wizard, to 0.

If you are deploying the trc.war file in WebSphere® Application Server, to disable the HTTP port, complete the following steps:
  1. In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions console, expand Servers > Server Types.
  2. Select Websphere application servers.
  3. Select the application server on which BigFix® Remote Control is installed.
  4. On the Configuration tab, expand Web Container Settings.
  5. Select Web container transport chains.
  6. Click HttpQueueInboundDefault on port 80.
  7. In General Properties, clear the Enabled check box.
  8. Click Apply.
  9. Click Cancel.
  10. Click WCInboundDefault on port 80.
  11. In General Properties, clear the Enabled check box.
  12. Click Save directly to master configuration.
  13. Restart the WebSphere server.
After you disable the HTTP port, if a user or a target attempts to contact the server on HTTP they are not redirected to HTTPS and an error is displayed:
