21.2. Admin Console
The Admin Console improves on the former Web Console, and is an embedded version of the JOPR project, which JBoss Operation Network is based on. This console allows access for users to deploy and undeploy applications, and should be secured or removed. It is secured by default.
Follow Task: Allow access to the HTTP Invoker from remote hosts to allow access to the Admin Console.
Alternatively, it can be removed by deleting the
admin-console directory from the deploy directory.
Task: Create jmx-console, admin-console, and http invoker user account
This procedure creates user with access permissions to the admin and jmx consoles, and the http invoker.
