After going through the steps to setup HTTP access on DMC I am not able to access the console using https, getting a connection refused error.  Also using HTTP  I get an error when I go to the Jobs tab that says my connection is not secure and requires authentication.  No id/password combination works and I am logged out of the system.   All other tabs and functionality seems to still work?  Is this a firewall issue?  Any help would be appreciated.

It is funny because http does not require additional configuration steps like https.

I would make sure that all DMC ports are opened in your firewall.   Here is the list of DMC ports:

Keep in mind that the internal DMC components use https to communicate with each other, so even if you are not using https, you need to have the https port open.

If you confirmed that all DMC ports are open and you still have the issue, please create a case so we can take a look at the DMC log files.

Hi Cintia,

Thanks for the reply!   After some research I believe there is a restriction on HTTPS communication at the domain level (This is a Windows EC2 instance) that is causing the problem.  I tried several different port combinations, but the https port never shows up as listening when I check the netstat -ao command.   I have a query out to the network team to try to get their input.  

In the meantime, I am concerned that I am no longer able to run jobs, and am wondering if there is a way to revert the console back to the original settings?  If I replace the bootstrap file with the original would that revert the console or are there other steps required?

Thanks again,

Chris
