AW: Is it possible to set the port for tomcat manager to 8080 and root port 80???

2010-03-26 Thread Steffen Heil
  That's another discussion, but it could really make sense, if you use a
  connector bound to a non-public interface (or even localhost) just for
  administration.
 Which is what the RemoteAddrValve is for.

Yes, I know.
Still some people might prefer complete separation (instead of hiding) and
even might see an advantage to have something else mounted on the same path
from the outside.

But let's stop this thread. It is as simple as:

The manager app cannot work with other hosts except the own.
(Which is usually fine, BTW)

Hi

 As Pid pointed out, this doesn't work: the scope of the manager webapp is
the Host it's deployed under.

I didn't realize that part of his last line...


 The whole idea smacks of security through obscurity - which means you've
accomplished nothing.

That's another discussion, but it could really make sense, if you use a

Yes.

You need to define TWO service / nodes, each with its own connector /
(using different ports) an its own engine /, each with its own host /,
one with the manager as context /, one with the other web applications.

However, I don't know precisely, how clean the manager is implemented and if
it can handle this scenario correctly.

I am not using the manager at all.
