  Ensure that you have a backup or a plan for reconfiguring the logical ports after the STS proxy is modified.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Logical Ports:
  
  After making changes to the STS proxy, you may need to reconfigure the logical ports to ensure they are correctly set up with the new STS proxy settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
