Hey Rudolf,
to hide the GeoServer GUI from the public, I'd not remove the jars, but proxy
only what you need from GeoServer (e.g. /geoserver/wfs) through Apache, and
make access to Tomcat/Jetty not public at all. Here is how this could look in
your Apache virtual host configuration, assuming that Tomcat/Jetty and Apache
run on the same machine:
ProxyRequests Off
# Remember to turn the next line off if you are proxying to a NameVirtualHost
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /geoserver/wfs http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs
ProxyPassReverse /geoserver/wfs http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs
Regards,
Andreas.
