There must be more to the story than this.  I tried running pkicreate 
with two of the subsystems using the same port


-agent_secure_port=8443 -ee_secure_port=8443

And when it runs I get the error

[error] Invalid port numbers submitted!


Is there some reason that these cannot be the same port, or is it just 
convention.  Does the agent use some protocol other than HTTP?  I get 
this error is I try to use the same port for any two *_secure_port  values.
