Just a thought: can manager be renamed, to something that neither a hacker nor a security scan could easily guess, without command-line access to the box, and still function?

Security by Obscurity?

Should be possible. I've ran "grep -r manager ." in the manager webapp's source directory, and it looks like the name is hardcoded nowhere. So you /should/ be able to simply rename its WAR file or the directory name within tomcat's webapps directory.

If this is a good idea or not remains for you to answer. You should still properly password-protect it and ideally also limit the networks/IPs/endpoints that can access it. Just as with its default name, it shouldn't be visible to anyone anyway.

Another option is to utilize JMX, as Mark pointed out earlier.
