Hi Team,

When I run CommCell Console remotely, ports 80 and 81 are accessed. Port 80 is not secure, I'm not sure about 81. Is there a safer method?

Hi @0ber0n 

There are a few ways you can access the console using a web endpoint.

You can use the http endpoints on both 80 (Tomcat) and 81 (IIS) as you’ve described, but Web Console also has a secured endpoint using https:443: https://webconsole/console.

Opening the CommCell Console with a JAR File

 

On a different note, there are steps provided to secure Web Service and move from http:81 to https on another port if you want to move this from http to a secured interface using https:

Configuring Secured Access on a Web Service

Hi @Stuart Painter 

Thank you for the reply.

I guess we don't have any other options other than 80 and 81 for CommCell Console only? I am currently able to access the Web Console from 443.

Hi @0ber0n 

Web Console has a CommCell Console option at …/console.

Try accessing Web Console and using /console to gain access to the Java CommCell Console.

Hi @Stuart Painter 

Yes, as you stated, I am trying to access the Java Console as servername/console, but since we are using Tomcat, it tries to go over Port:80. At the moment we are only talking about accessing the Java Console.

We can access it via port 443 as servername/webconsole, we have no problem with that.

Hi @0ber0n 

You mis-understand my suggestion.

You can use Web Console to access the Java CommCell Console.

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/3838_opening_commcell_console_with_jar_file.html

Use Web Console (Tomcat) interface on https port 443:

https://webconsole:443/console/ { this will use Tomcat to reach the Java CommCell Console.

 

Otherwise, your next option is to follow Configuring Secured Access on a Web Service to move Web Service from http:81 to https on a different port.

Thanks,

Stuart

To confirm we’re all on the same page, to this point we’ve been talking about how to access the Java console app.  I want to make sure it’s understood these ports are NOT used for the actual management of your CS over the Java app.  When you’re using the Java GUI to manage your CS, the communication is encrypted -- I believe over one of our 840x ports.

Thanks,
Scott
