>Description: JServ1.1b3, java JServ rejects connections that do not originate from localhost, whatever the value of the security.allowedAddresses property. This is serious/critical: It prevents from using JServ1.1b3 with JServ engines on different hosts than the web server. >How-To-Repeat: Configure JServ so that security.allowedAddresses=127.0.0.1,x.y.z.X (x.y.z.X is the IP of the same machine, network interface). Then, with telnet, try the connection: telnet localhost 8007 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ò]çKÛH[¢W Connection closed by foreign host. telnet x.y.z.X 8007 Trying x.y.z.X... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused On the Contrary, changing nothing to the configuration but replacing the ApacheJServ1.1b3 jar by the 1.0 version gives: telnet localhost 8007 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ÛH] Í Connection closed by foreign host. telnet x.y.z.X 8007 Trying x.y.z.X... Connected to gprotein.physbio.mssm.edu. Escape character is '^]'. Q¶>ÛH]âí Connection closed by foreign host. >Fix: I will reinstall JServ1.0. I did not look into the code differences between 1.0 and 1.1b3. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
