I am by no means a network configuration specialist, so take what I say with a grain of salt :)
You havn't mentioned how Tomcat is accessed from the internet, such as do you have a Apache or IIS, server acting as a proxy/redirector to tomcat, or whether tomcat itself is internet facing. If you have a separate web server infront of tomcat, then the web server only needs to be configured with the URI's to pass through to tomcat for your web application AND NOT specify those URIs for the manager app. That way you can access the manager app from the internal network by directly going to tomcat, but the external internet users will never be able to access it, because no path exists to it for them. If however you tomcat is internet facing (not an option I would recommend) then I wouldn't know how you should properly deal with that. At least have a good password :) Regards, Shane -----Original Message----- From: Richard S.

I have been using tomcat for several years now, and normally weather the upgrades with some few problems, but nothing serious - until now. My problem - in the old Tomcat, I used the manager application to monitor the number of users accessing the system. In the old version, I had it set up so that external requests could NOT see the manager, ever. Now, under the new Tomcat, the manager app has changed. Today I also noticed that it is also available to the internet. How do I restrict access to the manager application to the local network - i.e. how do I turn off internet access to the manager app?
