Description
Types of management interfaces utilized by the JBoss EAP application server include web-based HTTP interfaces as well as command line-based management interfaces. In the event remote HTTP management is required, the access must be via HTTPS. This requirement is in conjunction with the requirement to isolate all management access to a restricted network.
