I found it in several of the documents on Apple's website. It is

Hey Frank!
Yeah, what I was after was an actual link to where you were
reading... Google seems to have pointed me to one instance. Sure
hope it's where you were looking. :-(
On this page there's a note about direct access to the wotaskd
information is blocked when a password is set: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Deployment/Deploying_Applications/Deployment/Deployment.html
Specifically, it says:
On password-protected sites, you have to use JavaMonitor to view an
application host’s configuration.
And while this is true for accessing the full information about the
configuration, it's not true about all of it. As I recall, with a
password set, you can still see the configuration information if you
use the URL as it appears on the WOAdaptorInfo page. After all,
that's how the WOAdaptor is getting the information. It should be
something like this and yes, you need to use the entire url to gain
access when the password is set:
appserver.mydomain.ca:1085/WebObjects/wotaskd.woa/wa/woconfig
For what should be obvious reasons, you must do this from a machine
which can connect to the app server. One that is not blocked by say
a firewall as is so common in a deployment situation. When I taught
the deployment course I used to cover this part in extra detail
because it's so useful when there are deployment problems.
You might also be thinking of this (unrelated) section in
/System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
# To enable the WOAdaptorInfo page with restricted access,
# uncomment the next two lines and set the user and password
# To access the WOAdaptorInfo page with restricted access,
# use a URL like: http://webserver/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WOAdaptorInfo?user+password
.
# WebObjectsAdminUsername user
# WebObjectsAdminPassword password
Good luck!
