Chris,
Blimey, even with a long name it gets found, I guess we are always being
snooped on๐.

I guess the default 401 page should be modified locally to just say 401
Unauthorized and not mention Tomcat.

Hello,
Are there any best practice notes for the manager app?
eg, if include the app in webapps I get a context on my site, do I
create a long name for the folder (the url) to hide it?
eg folder called reallylongmanager1234567890
so I get http://xxx.site/reallylongmanager1234567890
Or is there a better way?
Hiding the name is just security-by-obscurity. But in this case, it's
a useful one if you want to go through the effort. No script kiddie is
going to scan the internet for host/reallylongmanager1234567890,
they'll try host/manager and, getting a 404, will move-on to others.
At $work, we enable the RemoteAddrValve and make sure it only allows
connections from localhost. It turns out this is the default these
days, so I may adjust my build process to stop doing that explicitly.
We also require authentication so local miscreants, if they exist,
can't mess with our applications. Well, at least non-root miscreants. ;)
We also run everything through a reverse proxy (httpd) and only map
our "real" web applications from the outside world into the back-end
Tomcat notes. This is the real protection: you can't get to our
manager from the outside world at all.
