3 Locate the section header for the Virtual Server configuration for port 443.
This line looks similar to the following:
<VirtualHost -default_:443>
4 Change the port number in the section header to the desired port number.
For example, to change to port 8443, change 443 to 8443.
5 Save the file.
6 Stop and start the Apache service.
For instructions, see "Verify That the Apache Service Is Started or Restarted" on page 25.
When you create an ACE‐enabled virtual machine, you can specify which port is to be used to communicate
with ACE Management Server.

Delete the Server Configuration File and Set a New Administrator Password

If you lose or forget the administrator password, you must delete the configuration file and reconfigure the
server. As part of that configuration, you set a new password.
To delete the server configuration file and set a new administrator password
1 Navigate to the location of the ACE Management Server configuration file:
Depending on the server's operating system, the file is placed in one of the following locations:

Windows – C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ACE Management Server\conf\acesc.conf

Linux – /var/lib/vmware/acesc/conf/acesc.conf
2 Save a copy of the file to a new location so that you can refer to it when you reconfigure the server.
3 Delete the original configuration file.
4 Start the ACE Management Server Setup application and configure the server again, specifying a
password on the Access Control tab.
See "Start and Configure ACE Management Server" on page 26.
5 Continue with the ACE Management Server Setup application in one of the following ways:

If this is the initial configuration of the server, click Next.

If you are reconfiguring the server, click Apply and click Restart or Later.
If you click Later, you must restart the server for the configuration changes to take effect. You can
restart the server by clicking Apply on any of the tabs, even if you do not make changes on the tab.

Restore a Backup Copy of an SSL Certificate

If you upload an invalid certificate file, the ACE Management Server Setup application fails when you click
Apply and then Restart and you cannot restart the Apache service. To fix this problem, restore the backup
certificate file for the corresponding certificate.
