Hi all, Following on Sebastian Hauer's email advice I used the following program to find out what ports JBoss uses.
http://www.tucows.com/preview/213738.html I think the following information might help others too when they are deploying jboss. My application is probably quite like what others are doing. It's very standard in architecture. Struts --- > Stateless Session Beans --- > CMP EJBs / and MDBs Basically, a simple web application. A port scan reveals the following ports are being used by the default folder when my ear is deployed on JBoss 3.2.2. If people are able to tell me what the few unknown ports are it would be helpful too. All comments are much appreciated! Hopefully this can help others as to what the average user should shut down to secure and optimize a default jboss 3.2.2. List of open ports with a JBoss 3.2.2 running port scan I found that there are 14 open ports on my default deploy of JBoss 3.2.2 ======================================================================== = Port Number Open: 3246 Associated Function: unknown What it does: unknown How to disable: unknown Port Number Open: 1162 Associated Function: SNMP manager What it does: Simple Network Management Protocol - sends error messages via snmp protocol How to disable: remove snmp-adaptor.sar from deploy folder?
