5.6 Disabling status pages for JBoss

Due to a possible information disclosure issue, remove access to the JBoss status page by following these steps for your version of the application server.

1. (JBoss 5.1 only) Locate [JBoss root]/server/lc_turnkey/deploy/ROOT.war/WEB-INF, and open the web.xml file in an editor.

   (JBoss 4.2.1 only) Locate [JBoss root]/server/lc_turnkey/deploy/ jbossweb.deployer/ROOT.war/WEB-INF, and open the web.xml file in an editor

2. Comment out the servlet and servlet-mapping tags as follows:

       <!-- <servlet> 
           <servlet-name>Status Servlet</servlet-name> 
           <servlet-class>org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.StatusServlet 
           </servlet-class> 
       </servlet> 
       <servlet-mapping> 
           <servlet-name>Status Servlet</servlet-name> 
           <url-pattern>/status</url-pattern> 
       </servlet-mapping> -->

3. Save and close the file.
