I'm just guessing here but you could run the manager app over https.
If however your support team expressed concerns that the manager app
might be backdoored, I suggest you slap them a little bit and ask them
to change their medication :)

Subject: Manager app security concerns


I'm using the manager app to deploy web apps. I'm interfacing to it 
using deployer ant tasks. My support team have raised concerns that this 
is inherently insecure. They are concerned that a third party can use 
the manager app to take control of the server.

Is this a valid concern?
Is the username and password securely transmitted? Are there any back 
doors or bugs with the manager app that would allow it to be taken over?

If there are any problems is there a way to improve the security of the 
manager?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Andrew
