User Portal - Change External IP Address? "You cannot update the default Admin Console Port as it is used in Business Application Policy"

AllanD

Is there a way to have the external portal use a different IP address then the default WAN address?  For example we currently have a block of 5 external IP's that are for example 200.2.2.1 through 200.2.2.5.  Port 2 WAN is setup as 200.200.200.1 then there are four aliases for .2 - .5.  I have Outlook web access and mobile access both coming in 200.2.2.1 and that's manually setup on 100+ cell phones.  However I cannot enable the user portal on port 443 because it conflicts with this and give the error "You cannot update the default Admin Console Port as it is used in Business Application Policy".  Is there a way to switch the user portal to one of the aliases addresses (200.2.2.5 for example) or do I have to switch my Outlook rules to a different IP along with all the phones?

    Can't you just assign IP 200.2.2.5 to the WAN port?  This way the WAN port and 200.2.2.1 are different IP addresses so they no longer have to compete for port 443

    .1 through .5 are all assigned to the WAN port (same physical port) as its our incoming internet line so I'm not sure what you mean.  The aliases (.2 - .4) all are ok even though they are assigned to the WAN port so it seems the user portal and admin grab the first IP address assigned to the WAN zone.  I suppose I could assign .1 thru .4 to a different interface, lie and call it LAN, then assign the user portal to 443 which it only has .5 available.  Once it takes assign my website to .1 then try to put the other interface and assign it back to WAN and see if it holds but I don't want to try and trick it into doing what I want and potentially have it break.
