Changing the default port in WebSphere Application Server

Sometimes we may need to change the default port of a WebSphere Application Server installation as a security precaution or for some other reasons like for coexisting with another WAS installation on the same machine. Moreover it’s always better to change the default ports in production environments. You can follow the below steps to change the default http port.

1. Logon to your admin console

2. Click on Servers -> Application servers -> .

3. Click on Ports link under communications, under the Configuration tab. (If you expand the Ports section click on details).
