Hi all.
As Maxim has already said, on *nix systems the use of ports below 1024
is restricted to the root user. So, you have two options, one is to run
openmeetings as root user and then you can configure to use port 443 or
run openmeetings as another user (openmeetings, nobody, etc.) and use a
port above 1024 (usually 8443). Well, this It is not the whole truth,
you can really use a user other than root and configure openmeetings to
run on port 443. There are several ways to achieve this and you can see
some of them in
https://superuser.com/questions/710253/allow-non-root-process-to-bind-to-port-80-and-443
I tell you how I get it. I use the file openmeetings.service that comes
with the openmeetings distribution with some minor modifications. You
can see that lines 23-24 contain the following:
[Service]
Type=forking
Okay, add one more line just below so it looks like this
[Service]
Type=forking
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
Then edit server.xml file and change
<Connector port="5443"
to
<Connector port="443"
Restart openmeetings and visit https://yourdomain.com/openmeetings
Regards.

Hello Maxim,
sometimes your answers are a bit „cryptic“ for dummies like me 😊
What do you mean with „privileged on *nix“. What can happen if i
use a „privileged“ web Port?
Special privileges are required to use ports <=1024 on *nix systems
(MacOS, Ubuntu, Fedora etc.)
To do it secure way you need to create special user and grant it with
special permission
Or use front-end proxy
I find 5443 one time in config. So i just change this to 443 and
reboot?

and restart OM

Peter,
good question. I mean not if Maxim is sleeping ever…
Yes, I think it’s an important hint to use a standard port.
In business environments it´s a problem with special ports.
Maxim, where we have to configure this?
it depends on your configuration
for Tomcat stand-alone config
https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-server/src/main/assembly/conf/server.xml
Please NOTE port 443 is privileged on *nix systems ....

I just got in first contact with „bigbluebutton“.
It seems to be very similar to openmeetings but – as i
suggested before – has a better implementation of video
arrangement.
All videos automatically were arranged above the whitboard
– i like it.
What i wonder is ,why open meetings needs to use specific
https port and bigbluebutton does not?
port 8443 is used for demo-next because version 4.0.x using
443 ATM
port 5443 is used for out-of-box version to avoid conflicts
with running HTTP server
you free to set up OM on port 443
The main problem is with customers having a firewall
allowing only 80/443. We had scheduled a meeting with
customers that had to be canceled due to networking /
firewall problems.
Using 80/443 like on bigbluebutton would make everything
much easier? Is this possible?
