That explains it. Thanks. I’m using openSSO to restrict access to a mark logic app and have an SSO agent running on the box that proxies over to the mark logic port. So 127.0.0.1 works allowing only the agent traffic to get to the port and preventing external access.

The default value of 0.0.0.0 is the standard value that tells a socket to listen on all interfaces on the host. When you configured it to 127.0.0.1 you restricted your server to just the loopback interface, hence the inability to connect from anywhere external to the host. This is typically useful when a host has more than one network interface and you wish to configure an application server to only accept connections on one of them. For example, you might have one interface that is externally facing and one that is internally facing and only wish to have your admin UI accessible to hosts on the internal network. Wayne.

I changed it to 127.0.0.1 and was unable to access the port for that http app server until I reverted it to 0.0.0.0. Is there any documentation anywhere on how this configuration piece is used?
