Niagara 4.2 provides a Linux Supervisor station template. The resulting station's Web Service is configured for HTTP on port 8080 and
HTTPS on port 8443. Note, that you need to add a rule in your network firewall to allow data transmission on these ports.
Prerequisites:
The Niagara 4.2 successfully installed
Perform the following steps:
In Workbench, click Tools > New Station.
In the New Station wizard, click the Linux Supervisor station template and click OK.
The wizard steps you through the process of creating the station. For detailed information on creating a new station, see
“Creating a new station” in Getting Started with Niagara.
In the new station’s Services node, expand WebServicesand confirm configuration of the following port settings:
HTTP = 8080
HTTPS = 8443
In the system firewall, set up rules to do the following:
redirect HTTP port 80 (external) to port 8080 (internal)
redirect HTTPS port 443 (external) to port 8443 (internal)
This will make it appear to a remote client that the web server is running on port 80, but all requests sent to port 80 are
redirected to port 8080 where the Niagara Web Server is listening for them. Similarly, requests sent to port 443 are redirected
to port 8443.
