I'm setting up Direct Access on Windows Server 2012, located behind a NAT with 1 public IP. My question in short is: Can Direct Access be configured to run on another port than 443? It works just fine on 443 but I would like to move it to another port like 8443 for example.
I've changed and the two settings I could find in the client GPO (firewall and IPHTTPS) from port 443 to 8443 and I have forwarded the port 8443 to the server. I can however not find any port-settings on the server side and I've tried NAPT'ing port 8443 to port 443 and forward it to the DA-server but it doesn't help.
With Windows Server 2012 so brilliantly adjusted for the small businesses I expect this scenario to emerge many times the next year or so when people realize how easy and cost-effective Direct Access is in this new server version.
