That is the web server that the software uses for administration, if you connect to http://localhost:8080/ from the box running NAV for Exchange 2.5 it should prompt you for a username/password. However, it only requires a password (I do not believe there is even an option to set a username) and may have a blank password set (which is often the case if it is IP restricted, as it should be).
I do not believe you can disable this, since it is required for administration. However, the manual is available online (http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/enterprise/products/nav/nav-ms-exchange2/m anuals.html) so you may want to peruse that to find out more. If you use IP restriction and set a strong password that is the best you can do with the NAV for Exchange 2.5 web server, also **make sure it isn't allowed outside of your firewall or to any untrusted networks**...this should minimize risk. The other alternative is if you can upgrade to version 3.0 (now called Symantec AntiVirus/Filter 3.0 for Microsoft Exchange) it uses IIS for the web server and you can lock it down much better (since you have all the control you would have on any IIS site) - plus the added benefit is that the app installs in the System context instead of requiring a special account.
