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.

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? https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-server/src/main/assembly/conf/server.xml#L57 https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-server/src/main/assembly/conf/server.xml#L73 and restart OM Best wishes for having long nights with growing up daughter… POW Von: Maxim Solodovnik <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Gesendet: Dienstag, 5.

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 ....

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?
