Discussion

Remote management access is accomplished by leveraging common communication protocols and establishing a remote connection to the application server via a network for the purposes of managing the application server. If cryptography is not used, then the session data traversing the remote connection could be intercepted and compromised.

Types of management interfaces used by an application server include web-based HTTPS interfaces as well as command line-based management interfaces.
