> Tomcat on CloudStack management server is started with "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=45219 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false" flag. As a result, the JMX port is open without authentication.
> Do we need the JMX port? If not, we should close it.
> If we need it, we will want to add authentication. Ideally we should add it in default installation. Or we should mention it in the document.
