Hi, I have a requirement from our networking guys to provide a reporting point running on https (port 443) rather than on http (port 80). we'll be using a single primary site server with the reporting point on the same server also, my understanding is that in order to use port 443 then I must configure the site in Native mode, is there any other option to just configure the reporting website to use port 443 without the hassle of going native mode...? we've no need for IBCM or the additional security provided by native mode other wise. Thanks!

Thanks Torsten! ..that's exactly what I was looking for.
