Windows authentication SSO on tomcat port 8080

[Erin Trotter]

Has anyone successfully set up their webfocus home page to use integrated windows authentication while using port 8080?  For this install, I can't have users access on port 80 like the other installations we have had in the past, so I can't replicate the way those were set up.  Currently, I'm being prompted to login every time I go to the home page.  This is not ideal.  Users would like to be authenticated automatically by being recognized by windows

@Erin Trotter configuring Tomcat for IWA without IIS is more tricky https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/windows-auth-howto.html 

What is the reason for not using MS IIS (Internet Information Server) as it has a built in ready to use IWA ?

I never did the Tomcat only way as IIS is so much easier.

In order to use IIS, do I have to have port 80 available.  For security reasons, I don't have port 80 available.  I thought I could configure port 8080 on IIS.  Is that true?

I wonder why you cannot use port 80 

Usually most firewalls prefer those standard ports - but yes if the port is the problem you can reconfigure IIS to use a different port - just make sure to first change the Tomcat port to something outside 8080 

for instructions on  changing IIS just Google for iis change port
