Endpoint Protection

Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager requires TCP port information.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager uses TCP 9090 to display the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console. If other software is listening on this port, you cannot log on to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console. Note that Symantec IM Manager uses TCP port 9090. If you are required to run Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console on a computer that also requires other software that uses TCP port 9090, you can change the port for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console.

To change TCP port 9090, edit the following file with WordPad

\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\conf\server.xml

Search for port=9090 and change 9090 to a different TCP port number. Save the file, and then restart Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager service.

We can then log on to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console. Be aware, however, that changing port 9090 partially disables the online Help system. Every time you use Help, you will have to change 9090 in the URL to the changed port number to display the Help text.
