On what port does a local AEM author instance typically run by default?

The local Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) author instance typically runs on port 4502 by default. This is a standard configuration set during the installation of AEM, where the author instance is designed to be accessed through that specific port. This convention helps developers and content authors easily identify and connect to the AEM author instance for development and content management tasks.

In a typical setup, the AEM publish instance, which is used for delivering content to the web, runs on port 4503, while other common ports like 8080 and 8081 are used for different applications or services, but not for the standard AEM author instance. Understanding these default port configurations is critical for anyone managing AEM environments, as it aids in ensuring proper connectivity and operational management of the content management system.
