https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-52449 How do I run JBoss on port 80 or 443? Article ID: 52449 - Created on: Jan 28, 2010 4:34 PM - Last Modified: Mar 28, 2011 10:51 AM Issue Can JBoss run as a non-root user, but still use port 80? We would like to be able to access our application by https://domainname.com rather than having to specify https://domain.com:8443 I'm able to deploy JBoss successfully with the root account but not with a normal. I have always the following Exception : "java.net.BindException: Permission denied" Environment JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) Resolution The options for binding to port 80/443 are: run as root (not recommended for security reasons) run a proxy (such as apache/mod_jk) on 80 and redirect to JBoss Use an operating-system specific method to override the restriction or forward the port (e.g. iptables) https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-18843 for RHEL
