Issue/Introduction

Customer is using a broker with a non standard/non default port.

Harweb is able to display the login screen, but login attempts generate the following error:

Comm error: -306 

Environment

Harvest Software Change Manager all versions and platforms

Cause

In scenarios like this, Harvest may have been configured to use a different default port number instead of 5101.

Resolution

In this situation, Harweb will need to be configured for this new port number as well.

This can be done by implementing the "rtserverport" option.  Edit the harweb.cfg, located in the \harweb\WEB-INF directory, to implement the change.

Example:
