potential risks of being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are
encrypted using MD5 algorithm and thus provide better protection against unauthorized accesses.
HTTP port / Secondary HTTP port: By default, the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP
port is set to 8080. They can also be assigned to another port number between 1025 and 65535. If
the ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning messages will be displayed:
