Port 443 in use when configuring a System Management Server.

Hi Jakob,

Looks like this conflict will be 'normal'. As a technical support engineer with a local AVEVA distributor, I have access to AVEVA's case reports database, where I am able to find multiple case reports which detail exactly what you are running into. 

Customers have reported that they would have a new download with all of the System Platform components, but when they attempted to configure SMS, they get something along the lines of "Error while configuring System Management Server (SMS), Failed to configure the device, The https port 443..."

A majority of these cases list the solution as what you followed: Uninstalling InTouch Access Anywhere. One case even mentions that after doing the uninstall, and then configuring SMS on port 443, the customer was able to re-install ITAA and have it work correctly. So my guess is that the installer for System Platform 2023 installs ITAA first, and then the SMS components, which then creates this conflict. 

I tried to look for if AVEVA has officially published anything in regards to this behavior, but only came up with the following technote[000033508]: softwaresupportsp.aveva.com/

I know that technote discusses Plant Scada Access Anywhere, but I think the overall points made in consideration with SMS will be the same for InTouch Access Anywhere. 

ok, thanks a bunch for the feedback!

took a while before I realized that this was the issue, for a newbie like me installing everything at once on one node this can cause serious headache seems like something that could easily be fixed and avoided.
