Issue/Introduction

Where do you change the port for the MonitorController?

Resolution

The port for the MonitorController is changed in the UI on the Enforce server.

From the UI, click System Overview -> Select Detection Server -> Configure -> Port

The default value is 8100.  Change this value to the desired setting.

The same modifications will also need to be made in the or C:\SymantecDLP\Protect\config\communication.properties file on the Detection Server.

For example:

# The port number on which the server is listening.
# Used by the BoxMonitor only.
listenPort = 8100

This should be at the bottom of the file.

Note: SymantecDLPDetectionServerController service must be restarted for changes to take effect.
