Hi carsten,

Thanks for the reply.

As stated by yourself, we are on single layer OFBiz architecture and I have
not come across any restrictions for getting PCI compliance based on this
architecture. Can you please forward me links/website that mentions this
restriction.

Even if you introduce a web & application layer, i.e front your ofbiz
server(server on which you run ofbiz) with apache using mod jk connector/ajp
protocol, how are you restricting the access on http(80 or any) and
https(443 or any) ports on the ofbiz server(internal tomcat). 

If you are running apache on a different server then, I would assume that
you need to get both your servers audited for PCI compliance? If you are
running both apache & ofbiz on the same server then you might have
configured the http & https ports on internal tomcat to be different to 80 &
443, but even then the new ports can be hit from outside, so how did you
deal with that. 

Any reply/help is greatly appreciated.

regards
Rajesh
