If your MID Servers are not showing up in ServiceNow, try the following:

1. Check Registration: Ensure the MID Server is correctly registered in ServiceNow under MID Server > MID Servers.
2. Verify Connectivity: Make sure port 443 is open for communication between the MID Server and ServiceNow.
3. Check Logs: Review the MID Server logs for errors.
4. Restart: Restart the MID Server service to trigger re-registration.

Ensure no proxy or firewall is blocking the connection.

HTTPS Port 443 is a vital component of secure website communication. It is the default port for HTTPS, the secure variant of the HTTP protocol. Using Port 443, HTTPS encrypts the data transmitted between a user’s browser and a website, protecting critical information from malicious attackers.

Secured communication is delivered using HTTPS over port 443 in order to establish an encrypted connection between the browser and the server it wants to connect to.
