Virtual Appliance: WildFly admin console accessibility and AJP port configuration

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Governance
• CA Identity Portal

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to access the WildFly admin console on the Virtual Appliance via http://hostname:9990/console, the browser returns a "refused to connect" error. This is often encountered during the setup of Single Sign-On with CA Identity Portal. The console is intentionally disabled in the Virtual Appliance architecture to maintain environment integrity.

Environment

Identity Manager

Cause

The WildFly admin console at port 9990 is restricted by design on the Virtual Appliance. The appliance is pre-configured to handle application integration through optimized AJP (Apache JServ Protocol) listeners, making direct console access unnecessary for standard configurations.

Resolution

The default configuration for AJP listeners on the Virtual Appliance is sufficient for integrating Single Sign-On with the hosted applications. No manual configuration via the WildFly console is required.

The AJP listeners are pre-set to the following default ports:

• Identity Manager (IM): 8009
• Identity Portal (IP): 8010
• Identity Governance (IG): 8011

When setting up Single Sign-On, utilize these default AJP ports for communication between the components.
