Block HTTP Access on the Enterprise Management Server

Symptom:

After installation, HTTP and HTTPS ports are open by default. You need to disable the HTTP port.

Solution:

To disable the HTTP port, comment out the HTTP connector in the JBoss configuration.

Follow these steps:

1. Browse to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer and edit the server.xml file.
2. Search for the following string that defines the default port of the HTTP connector: 

   port="18080" 
   

   Note: If you have configured a different port in the installation wizard, the port number may be different.

   This port attribute is part of a <Connector> element.

3. Comment out this <Connector> element by surrounding the element with comment tags (<!--   and -->).

   The HTTP connector is disabled.

4. Restart the JBoss service.

Example

<!-- <Connector port="18080" address="${jboss.bind.address}" 
         connectionTimeout="20000" /> -->
