Greetings!

For security purposes, my tomcat server is behind a firewall, with the
firewall forwarding port 8080 requests to the server (as port 8080).
All works very well. FTP and Telnet are blocked by the firewall as
well.  Only port 80 (another machine running Apache to serve a web site)
and port 8080 are open on this firewall.

Also for security, I have removed the original "webapps" directory and
replaced it with my own "webapps" directory with just my servlets and
such in it.  Again, all works very, very well.

NOW - I would like to track who is currently using the system.  Apache
is not running - only Tomcat.  Rather than try to track users internally
with my servlets, I would like to be able to use the Tomcat manager
functions to do this. Is there a way to use manager functions without
the original webapps/manager directory - i.e. ONLY from behind the
firewall, perhaps even only when logged on to the server as root?  My
understanding is that if I put the manager directory back, then it is
open to the world (password protection is rarely enough, I've found).

Thanks in advance,

-Richard
