Re: how to set address/port/url for Navigator for i from IBM i Access Client Solutions? -- MIDRANGE-L

When I started this thread I was having problems. I swear that different
system configurations were going to different ports and their tail end of
the urls differed. Today I tried all 14 lpars in an effort to gather some
of the differences to try to show you.

Now they all go to the same:
https://lparname.dekko.com:2003/Navigator/login

Apparently I have no problem. At least today. Perhaps the other day was
the result of bouncing the http servers due to the CVE fix I put on.

NETSTAT *CNN shows these ports active: 2001-2012, 2015-2020.

May close.

Buck/Rob,

This should help:
How to change the ports ADMIN server uses (ibm.com)

This will tell you which ADMIN job Navigator uses:

So basically nothing in there which says what port/url it will use

when

you

click on Navigator for i in the General box.

I deeply appreciate your patience, and have finally grasped the issue.
No, the GUI doesn't seem to have a way to set the Nav for i URL:port

Now that I'm looking at it, two out of three of my system configurations
go to the wrong port when I click Nav for i - I normally use browser
bookmarks, so I totally missed that this was happening.

I searched the local configuration for my host systems, and can't find
any prefs.dat files containing the URL or port. So I can't see a simple
text file that's caching the values, either. Then I searched the entire
C: drive looking for it. I can't find anything in cleartext that points
to a configuration.

Sorry.

I wonder if it's cached up on the IBM server... hm.
