How to setup sharepoint on port 8080 (http)

Question

My current setup is that i have sharepoint sitting on the port 80 and 443 with portal.company.com, and i would like to extend the application to use the 8080 port additionally, but on the different dns name (mportal.company.com). Unfortunately, simply extending the app is not working, because the browsers (chrome, ie) are redirecting to the https site on the port 8080, which obviously does not exist. If you have any recommendations for how to host such a scenario, please leave a comment down below. Some magic sharepoint documentation is welcome too.

• Sharepoint 2013 Foundation
• IIS 8.5

Portal http://servername port 80

Alternative Access Mapping

+----------------------------+----------+---------------------------+
|        internal URL        |   Zone   |        Public URL         |
+----------------------------+----------+---------------------------+
| http://servername          | Default  | http://servername         |
| http://portal.company.com  | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |
| https://portal.company.com | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |
| http://mportal.company.com | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |
+----------------------------+----------+---------------------------+

IIS

+---------------------+---------------------------------------------+
|        site         |                   binding                   |
+---------------------+---------------------------------------------+
| portal.company.com  | *:80 (http), portal.company.com:443 (https) |
| mportal.company.com | mportal.company.com:8080 (http)             |
+---------------------+---------------------------------------------+

Even without the redirection (in postman) i cannot access the site using ntml auth. I could do it with portal.company.com but not with mportal instead :<

Is it maybe possible with UrlRewrite2 module for IIS

Answer 1

There was a problem with HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport) on domain company.com, and deleting it on chrome didnt work, so we went to portal.company.mobile to workaround that, and when our proxy guy confirmed that its working, we switched to the schema below.

AAM

+-----------------------------------+-----------+---------------------------------+
|            Internal URL             |    Zone   |           Public URL            |
+-----------------------------------+-----------+---------------------------------+
| http://servername                 | Default   | http://servername               |
| https://portal.company.com        | Intranet  | http://portal.company.com       |
| http://portal.company.com         | Intranet  | http://portal.company.com       |
| https://mportal.company.com:8080  | Ekstranet | http://mportal.company.com:8080 |
| http://mportal.company.com:8080   | Ekstranet | http://mportal.company.com:8080 |
+-----------------------------------+-----------+---------------------------------+

IIS

+----------------------+---------+
|         site         | binding |
+----------------------+---------+
| portal.company.com   | *:80    |
| mportal.company.com  | *:8080  |
+----------------------+---------+

Answer 2

looks like AAM is not correct From checking your AAM

|        internal URL        |   Zone   |        Public URL         |  
+----------------------------+----------+---------------------------+  
| http://servername          | Default  | http://servername         |   
| http://portal.company.com  | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |  
| https://portal.company.com | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |  
| http://mportal.company.com | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |  
+----------------------------+----------+---------------------------+ 

You are added portal.company and mportal.comany in same zone which causing this issue. What you have to do On the AAM page from central admin > click on Edit public url Enter the url in the following:

**Default:**  http://servername

**Intranet:** http://portal.company.com 

**Internet:** http://mportal.company.com

After saving this, click on the Add internal URLS, Enter the http**s**://portal.company.com url and select the Intranet zone from drop down and click save.

i think it should be like this

|        internal URL        |   Zone   |        Public URL         |   
+----------------------------+----------+---------------------------+   
| http://servername          | Default  | http://servername         |   
| http://portal.company.com  | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |   
| https://portal.company.com | Intranet | http://portal.company.com |  
| http://mportal.company.com | **Intrenet** | http://portal.company.com |
