The SearchBlox Server uses port 8443 by default. This can be changed as provided below

Windows

You can change the port by following the steps below:

2. Update the port number in the C:\SearchBlox Server\start.d\https.ini file and add the below line with the required port number:

If it is not possible to run SearchBlox in a port less than 1024 since SearchBlox runs as a non-root user, you can enable port forwarding if required using :
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443
