Port Changes for iFIX after Configuration Hub Install

If you need to change the ports used by iFIX after install, use the iFIXConfighubSettingsUtility.exe utility found in the iFIX folder (by default this folder is: C:\Program Files (x86)\GE\iFIX) to reset them. This change must be done only when iFIX is NOT running.

If the iFIX Web Config Port changed, then you must register the iFIX plugin again with Configuration Hub using the Register button in the iFIX WorkSpace. See the iFIX Plugin Registration Tool for more details.

With the exception of the iFIX Web Config and OPCUA Service ports, if any other service ports are changed, then you must run the iFixConfigServiceCertTool.exe tool (shown in the following figure) to bind the certificates to the changed ports found in C:\Program Files (x86)\GE\iFIX. Please note that this utility must be run as an administrator only.

If any ports are changed, the iFIX Configuration Service Certificate tool shows the updated ports as “No certificate binding is not present.” For example, see the Auth Service Port 2 in the following figure. Click the Create Certificate Binding button to add the necessary port binding.

After the binding is complete, close the utility and restart iFIX. The changed ports then will be used by the iFIX.
