  "whatItIs": "IANA registered 9444 in 2008 for the WSO2 ESB administration console over HTTPS. WSO2 servers apply a numeric port offset when several run on one host, so a second instance lands its console on 9444 while the first uses 9443; other products copy the same 9443/9444 pairing for a spare TLS listener. In practice, treat it as another admin web interface until proven otherwise.",
