The DualShield Platform includes a self-service console (DSC) and several self-service portals, as listed below:

DualShield Unlock Account Service PortalDUA8076https://fqdn:8076/dua
DualShield Emergency Access Service PortalDEA8076https://fqdn:8076/dea

By default, all those self-service consoles and portals operate on HTTP port 8076.

The DualShield Platform also includes a Single Sign-On (SSO) portal. By default, the SSO portal operates on port 8074.

If you want to make both the SSO portal and the service console operate on port 443, then you will have to install 2 DualShield servers. On one server, you can change the SSO port from 8074 to 443, and on the other server you can change the port 8076 to 443.
