Hi,

Is it possible to change the WebGateway Port i.e. from i.e. 57773 to 443 to use it as:

https://myserver/iris/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen.....etc.

Meaning: https://myserver:443/iris/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen

Are there any known problems or other suggestions?

Product version: IRIS 2024.3

It's not recommended to do this with the included Apache web server, since it is now deprecated and will no longer be supplied with IRIS. However, you can install the Web Gateway component and configure it to use a standalone web server and enable SSL/TLS (https) on that. The documentation can be found through this link.

That's not the WebGateway port, it's the web server port, so you can change it in the web server configuration.

From the port you mentioned (57773) It seems you are using PWS (aka Private Web Server) that used to be installed with IRIS before version 2023.2 (if I recall it correctly).

Since you are using version 2024.3 my guess (I can be wrong) is that your system was upgraded from a previous version, so the PWS is still installed.

If so (you are using PWS), I suggest to install a proper "web server" (Apache or, if Windows, IIS) and use it instead of the deprecated, no longer installed, PWS.

It has been announced that future version (2025.??) PWS will be removed during IRIS install.
