I cannot for the life of me create a WAF rule on Port 8090. I've done a full export of the config, opened entries.xml and searched for 8090 and it's not in use anywhere.
I've checked and it's not a reserved port, although from memory it's the captive user portal and I can't find anywhere where I can set that port, so is it a reserved port but not listed?
How can I find out what's causing this conflict?
Hello,
Port 8090 is being used by the Sophos Captive portal. You must use different port.

As per Sophos documentation, 8090 is not a reserved port. How can I change captive portal port?
Or is the documentation incorrect and need updating?
Hello,
Yeah, certainly you have point that the document is not updated with the port number. I will take that internally and get it updated.
Unfortunately, we cannot change the captive portal port.

Hello,
Yeah, the document which you were referring was out of date. Certainly Captive portal port is reserved for the authentication and hence cannot be used with WAF.
Thank you for sharing the update.
