[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-243) Management Server starts with JMX port open and without authentication

Clement Chen created CLOUDSTACK-243:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Management Server starts with JMX port open and without authentication
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-243
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-243
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Install and Setup
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
            Reporter: Clement Chen


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.

Alex Huang commented on CLOUDSTACK-243:
---------------------------------------

JMX port is open because you can plugin a JMX console and access information that CloudStack publishes.  We should document that this port should be closed on the OS at all times.
