# WHATPORT(7080)

## NAME

port 7080 — LiteSpeed WebAdmin (IANA: empowerid) — The LiteSpeed / OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin console — a web server's administration GUI.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registered 7080 in 2008 as empowerid, "EmpowerID Communication", which you will effectively never meet. What actually listens on 7080 is the LiteSpeed Web Server and OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin console: its default admin listener is `*:7080`, reached over HTTPS with a self-signed certificate, and LiteSpeed's troubleshooting docs tell you to check that value when the console is unreachable. From that console you can restart the server, reload configuration, manage virtual hosts, and read logs. 7080 also turns up generally as an alternate HTTP port on hosts that already use 80 and 8080.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** It is full administrative control of a web server, historically shipped with a default admin password; bind it to localhost or a management network and reach it over a tunnel.

## CHECK

```sh
curl -kI https://TARGET:7080/
```
