Hi, If you really, really need the manager webapp, you can restrict access to that one not only by password but also by source-ip, e.g. access is only allowed from your office IP.
In server.xml: <Context path="/manager" docBase="${catalina.home}/server/webapps/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="<office_ip>"/> </Context> Hubert -----Original Message----- From: Toby Kurien [mailto:tobyis7...@gmail.com] Sent: 22 January 2009 16:17 To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: SECURITY breach in Tomcat Hi, I have a webapp for my company that has been running for several years. Recently, we got infected by a trojan or virus and this has been causing a lot of abnormal behavior. The trojan creates user accounts in Windows and also creates web applications like safee.war and zhu.war into the webapps folder of Tomcat and also shuts down Tomcat. The trojan webapps have jsp and exe files which try to modify, copy and delete files in the system and also try to access the database. Symantec and Norton have not been able to rectify or detect much. I am totally at loss on what's going on and how to tighten or rectify this. Anyone with any ideas is highly appreciated.
