I am running several instances of TC 7 as services on a Windows Server 2008 R2. Each instance has its own set of ports, and I have both the data port and shutdown ports configured in server.xml. They are currently running only HTTP.

My questions:

1. Does the shutdown port serve any purpose on a windows service installation? I thought I had read that it did not, but some searching didn't turn up a definitive answer.

2. I may need to start using HTTPS for my data transfer for at least one of the instances. If that instance is going to allow only HTTPS (and not HTTP), can I just make the current HTTP port into HTTPS? Or do I need to configure an additional port? If I need an additional port, and the shutdown port isn't needed, I could just turn the shutdown port into the HTTPS port, right?

I understand that there are significant configuration changes needed for HTTPS, and will be back if I run into issues with it, but for now I'm only asking about the TCP ports.

Thanks!
Dave
