10.10. How to Secure the JBoss Server
JBoss comes with several admin access points that need to be secured or removed to prevent unauthorized access to administrative functions in a deployment. This section describes the various admin services and how to secure them.
10.10.1. The JMX Console
The
jmx-console.war found in the deploy directory provides an html view into the JMX microkernel. As such, it provides access to arbitrary admin type access like shutting down the server, stopping services, deploying new services, etc. It should either be secured like any other web application, or removed.
