I am migrating a Forticlient EMS on a new server (2019)

On the install, it seems that the IIS was running, so The EMS couldn't use it.

It's now using only 443 with https.

I have disables iis, but how can i turn on the 80 port in my current install of EMS to use letsencrypt ?

Thank you.

To enable port 80 for your current EMS installation and use Let's Encrypt, you will need to configure your EMS application to listen on port 80. This may require changing your web server settings or the configuration of the EMS application itself. Check the EMS documentation or contact support for instructions on setting up listening on port 80 and configuring Let's Encrypt.

Hello @technocite ,

In my opinion, if you configure this area with port 80 EMS listens to this port.

System Settings -> EMS Settings

Before making this change, my advice is to take snapshots from this machine in case things go bad.
