The ColdFusion built-in TomCat Web Server must be disabled.
Description
Discussion Text
Application servers provide a myriad of differing processes, features, and functionalities. Some of these processes may be deemed to be unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. The built-in TomCat Web Server is used to host the Administrator Console and is used for initial setup. While the built-in server can be used to continually host the Administrator Console, this is not the best practice since the server is not guaranteed to be patched and upgraded, implementing TLS is not well documented, allowing for poor implementations, and commercial web servers offer better logging. To enable the Administrator Console to still operate and disable the built-in TomCat Web Server, the Administrator Console application must be moved to the web server (i.e., IIS, Apache, IBM HTTP Server, etc.) hosting the ColdFusion applications. Moving the Administrator Console to Apache and IIS is well documented in the Adobe ColdFusion Lockdown Guide.
