How to change the default port for the JBoss Console

Introduction

By default, the JBoss Management user interface for FAS installs using port 9990. It may be that for some customers this port is not acceptable, so the instructions below show how to change this port.

Changing the Port

1. Locate the fas.properties file in <your install>/<your FAS>/domain/configuration/ directory.
2. Open fas.properties in a text editor
3. Add the value jboss.management.https.port=<PORT> and replace <PORT> with the port you want the management user interface to be on e.g. 9991
4. Save the changes
5. Restart the FAS services

The user interface should now be accessible on the port specified e.g. https://192.168.0.13:9991

Note: Adding this property to the fas.properties file overwrites the value in the host.xml file on the master fas node. Therefore an alternative approach would be to change the port value in host.xml file and do a fas restart.
