Can the HTTP Sensor(s) be extended to support alternate port SSL scanning? We have secure web servers running on alternate ports such as 4430 or 8889 rather than 443, i.e.
https://serveraddress.url:4430
Thank you!

Hi,
this is already possible with HTTP or HTTP Advanced Sensors.
You just will have to provide toe URL in the following format:
https://URL:PORT
Additional, please make sure choosing the correct SSL Options on tab Settings of the sensor.
Best regards

<sheepishly retracts question> Thank you, after trying your suggestion a second time after creating a new HTTP-sensor, lo and behold worked like a champ. Thanks~
