How to you enter a port to be used for Service Desk customer portal?

[Marie F. Kent]

How do you specify a path to a customer portal in service desk if you want to use a specific server and port?

Service Desk runs as part of a JIRA install, so you use the same port as that.  Most of us run JIRA on 8080 then proxy it to 80 so users don't have to think about ports.

Thanks Nic! But what if there was a need to use a specific port for Service Desk for security reasons; is that possible?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You can use any (free) port you want for a JIRA installation, either directly on the server, or via a proxy.
