I guess I thought that was a given since we were talking about the
admin instance, but I can see how a newcomer might not have that
thought, so I will try to declare myself more thoroughly next time

WebSphere is an umbrella term for products that survive the cut at IBM - so
saying WebSphere is not enough, IMO.

The *ADMIN page does not need WebSphere Application Server at all. I do not
know if there are any Java things going on, however. So if your concern is
about WAS, there is no need to worry - nothing to do with that interface to
the i!!

-------------- Original message ----------------------
From: "Aaron Bartell" <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>
Having an administrative interface open to the public is always a
liability,
but outside of that I am just uncomfortable with having a Java interface
running in Websphere that has access to so many system functions. Call me
paranoid I guess. I have zero cases that I can tell you about where it
has
been a problem, but then again maybe that is because I really only use it
to
admin DCM and then I shut it off again right away :-)

In the end I don't even know how much of Java and Websphere are used in
the
*ADMIN process, so my hesitations are really unfounded (just wanted to
clear
the air :-)

wow. Am I reading you right? Using the *ADMIN server is a bad
thing?!?! It has security flaws? IBM is putting out a product that is
dangerous to use?
