I have to agree, it's ridiculous and inconvenient, and its currently a blocker to us upgrading to FMS 13. It looks like we're not the only ones affected... I suggest we add our voices to this conversation (title: "Mad as hell about Filemaker Server 13 ports 80/443")

The only practical workaround seems to be to run FMS13 in a virtual server instance (Parallels or VMWare).
