5. Find the HttpsPort and HttpPort properties.

                     <property name="HttpsPort">

You can run the HP Web Jetadmin Smart Client application from a workgroup. You must first change the Microsoft security settings.

1. On the HP Web Jetadmin server, go to Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools.

2. In the right pane, double-click Local Security Policy.

3. In the left navigation pane, expand Local Policies, and then select Security Options.

5. From the list, select the Classic - local users authenticate as themselves option.

6. Click the OK button.

HP Web Jetadmin directs clients to a TCP connection to receive event notifications. After the client establishes the TCP connection, HP Web Jetadmin sends event notifications that prompt the client to update itself via the standard Microsoft .NET Remoting channel on port 4088.

1. Open Notepad or a similar editor that has the appropriate create and edit permissions.

2. Enter the following code:

                     <ipmc:configuration
   xmlns:ipmc="www.hp.com/schemas/imaging/ipmc/config/2004/02/24">
      <property name="ClientEventRouter.ServerPort">
         <type>HP.Imaging.Wjp.Sdk.Core.Framework.ConfigurationItemString
         </type>
         <value>8099</value>
      </property>
   </ipmc:configuration>
                   

   CAUTION:

   Make sure that the code is entered exactly as shown here. Observe all of the rules for XML editing. Use the quotes (") that the editor generates.

   Do not copy the code from this document, and then paste it into the editor. The characters copied into the editor, such as quotes ("), are not formatted correctly. Characters that are formatted incorrectly cause the HP Web Jetadmin XML parser to fail and the HPWJA service to fail during the startup process.

3. Change the <value> attribute to any unused port.

4. From the File menu, select Save. The Save As window opens.

5. Navigate to the following directory on the HP Web Jetadmin server:
