HOW TO

Use the Service Administrator to work with Web servers running on ports other than 80

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Summary

The Service Administrator fails to work if the Web server uses a port other than 80 to serve content.

Procedure

Two suggested work-arounds are shown below, both of which require changes to the logincheck.jsp file. This file may be located in two places depending on the servlet engine being used:

If not using Tomcat, then look in the <ArcIMS Installation Directory>/Administrator/esriadmin folder.

If using Tomcat, it should be in the <Tomcat Installation Directory>/webapps/esriadmin directory.

  • Method 1 for working around this issue is to replace this line:

    Code:
    String site = request.getParameter("host");

    with this line:

    Code:
    String site = "yourcomputer";

    where yourcomputer is the name of the computer on which the ArcIMS Application Server runs.

    This method is simpler, but problems may arise if the server name changes at a later date.
  • Method 2 for working around this issue is to implement Java code that truncates the ":<port number>" directive from the host name. This can be done by replacing this code:

    Code:
    String site = request.getParameter("host");

    with this code:

    Code:
    String tempsite = request.getParameter("host");
    int pos = tempsite.lastIndexOf(":");
    String site = tempsite.substring(0,pos);
