In this article we will demonstrate how you can change Artifactory’s service port in both versions 6.x and 7.x
Artifactory uses port 8081 by default. In version 6.x this port is also used to access the web UI.
In version 7.x the web UI is accessible via port 8082 and Artifactory’s service is still using port 8081.
In this example, we will change the port from 8081 to 8080.
 

How to change the port:

Instructions for version 7.x:

Navigate to $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/etc/ folder
Edit the “system.yaml” file and add the following values:artifactory:
    port: 8080Make sure that the artifactory value is at the beginning of the new line and that the port value is indented properly. 
Restart Artifactory for the change to take effect.
More information can be found here.
 

Instructions for version 6.x:

Navigate to $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/tomcat/conf/ folder
Edit the “server.xml” file to modify the port number from 8081 to 8080
In order to change Artifactory’s port number to 8080 it would be required to change the line:<Connector port="8081" sendReasonPhrase="true" relaxedPathChars='[]' relaxedQueryChars='[]' maxThreads="200"/>To<Connector port="8080" sendReasonPhrase="true" relaxedPathChars='[]' relaxedQueryChars='[]' maxThreads="200"/>Restart Artifactory to apply the changes.

Verification: (Artifactory 7.x)

Execute the following command to verify the port changed after restarting the artifactory service:curl http://<ARTIFACTORY_VM_IP>:8080/artifactory/api/system/ping -v
*   Trying <ARTIFACTORY_VM_IP>:8080...
* Connected to <ARTIFACTORY_VM_IP> (<ARTIFACTORY_VM_IP>) port 8080 (#0)
* Server auth using Basic with user 'admin'
> GET /artifactory/api/system/ping HTTP/1.1
> Host: <ARTIFACTORY_VM_IP>:8080
> Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46UGFzc3dvcmQxIQ==
> User-Agent: curl/7.84.0
> Accept: */*
>
* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse

OK%The above output from the command using port 8080 instead of port 8081 and verified the port has been changed.
