You can specify the port for iManage Drive local REST API service. This port is the port that applications will use to communicate with the iManage Drive on the user’s device. You can specify the port using the local_rest_service_port admin setting in the admin_settings.yaml file. 

If the port is already in use, we recommend that you use a different port. Example, local_rest_service_port: 8025.

You can verify if a port is in use using one of the following methods: 

Method 1: 

  1. Open powershell window. 
  2. Enter the following command to check if the port is available: Test-NetConnection localhost -port <number>

Method 2: 

  1. Search for resmon tool in the Microsoft Windows task bar. 
  2. In the resmon tool, select Network tab.
  3. View the list of the ports under Listening Ports.  

When you set local_rest_service_port admin setting to 0, iManage Drive selects a dynamic port.
