Change the CA ControlMinder Web Service URL

You use the CA ControlMinder Web Service to access CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management and CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management. The CA ControlMinder Web Service URL has the format HTTP:hostname:port; for example, http://entmserver:5248. By default, hostname is the name of the Enterprise Management Server.

When you change the CA ControlMinder Web Service URL, you change the IP address and port that the web service listens on. To increase security, you can change the host name to localhost; for example, http://127.0.0.1:5248. Using localhost helps to limit the exposure of the web service, because it helps to prevent scanners from detecting the web service from outside the immediate localhost environment.

Follow these steps:

  1. Stop JBoss and CA ControlMinder services if they are running.
  2. Change the host name in the URL, as follows:
  3. (Optional) Change the port number in the URL, as follows:
  4. Open the following file, where JBoss_home is the home directory in which you installed JBoss: 
    JBoss_home/server/default/conf/webservice.properties
  5. Change the value of the webservice.url property to the new host name and port. For example: 
    webservice.url=http://127.0.0.1:5248
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Restart CA ControlMinder services, including the CA ControlMinder Web Service.
  8. Restart JBoss.

    The CA ControlMinder Web Service URL is changed.
