Port 9091
Openfire Admin Console (SSL)
Openfire's secured web-based Administration Console operates on port 9091, providing administrators encrypted access to configure and manage the Openfire real-time collaboration server. It offers a user-friendly interface for server setup, user management, group chat configuration, and plugin management, all protected by SSL encryption to ensure secure administrator connections..
Technical Details
Port 9091 is primarily used by the Openfire server for its SSL/TLS-enabled Administration Console. Openfire is a popular open-source real-time collaboration server built on the XMPP protocol. The admin console is a web application served over HTTPS to facilitate secure configuration, management, and monitoring of the XMPP service.
When administrators access port 9091, the connection is encrypted using SSL/TLS, protecting sensitive configuration data such as server credentials and user information. The console supports features like real-time system health monitoring, user and group management, access control, messaging archiving control, and plugin management, all accessible through an intuitive web interface.
Typically, Openfire exposes two web console ports: 9090 for unsecured HTTP access and 9091 with SSL/TLS. Using the latter is recommended, especially when performing remote administration, as it secures communication channels against eavesdropping and tampering.
