Disabling Unused Ports on Execution Servers

Depending on whether you use SSL or insecure communication between the application server and the execution servers, you may want to disable the respective unused port. You can also disable the default Tomcat port, which is never used by Performance Manager.

The following procedure needs to be performed on each execution server where you want to disable the unused port.

To disable unused ports on the execution server:

  1. Stop the execution server.
  2. Open the SccExecServerBootConf.xml file with a text editor. The default path for this file is C:\Program Files (x86)\Silk\Silk Performance Manager <version>/conf/execserver on the execution server.
  3. Locate the InsecurePort and SSLPort XML tags in the RmiProxy section of the file.
  4. Depending on whether you use SSL or insecure communication between application server and execution server, proceed as follows:
    SSL communication
    Set the value of InsecurePort to 0.
    Insecure communication
    Set the value of SSLPort to 0.
  5. Save and close the XML file.
  6. Restart the execution server.
