Change the AIQ Test Node Port from 8443 to 443

Change the AIQ Test Node Port from 8443 to 443

Last reviewed: September 21, 2026

Use this page when a test node must listen on HTTPS port 443 instead of the default service port. Validate the change in a maintenance window because it affects controller-to-node communication.

When to use this guidance

• Security or network policy requires standard HTTPS port 443.
• No other service is already bound to port 443 on the test node.
• Firewall rules can be updated at the same time as the AIQ setting.

Recommended approach

1. Back up the current AIQ/test node configuration before editing ports.
2. Confirm port 443 is free on the host and allowed by host firewall and network firewall.
3. Update the test node port setting in the supported AIQ configuration file or administration setting for your version.
4. Restart the test node service and verify it binds to the new port.
5. Update any controller, load balancer, monitoring, or documentation references that still point to 8443.

Note: If another service already uses port 443, do not force the change; resolve the port conflict first.
