[jira] [Commented] (MTOMCAT-92) Bind tomcat to a self-chosen network interface

["Daniel Cassidy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-92?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13752414#comment-13752414 ] 

Daniel Cassidy commented on MTOMCAT-92:
---------------------------------------

It's precisely because tomcat-maven-plugin is used during development that it is important to bind to the loopback interface only. To do otherwise exposes development code to the network and is a security risk.

Binding to loopback only ought to have been the default.

> Tomcat is bound to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces) by default. I feel the need to change this binding to e.g. localhost (127.0.0.1) or another interface by adding a <host>127.0.0.1</host> to plugin configuration in pom.xml. This is often necessary for security or firewall reasons during the development of web applications.
> Thanks in advance.
