Tomcat respond to localhost only

philipp

How can Tomcat be configured in order not to respond to user requests directly?

Usually the TeamSite Webdesk Servlets are accessed under the following url:

http://teamsite_host/iw/webdesk/xyz

If your Servlet Engine is configured to e.g. port 9080, you can also access servlets under
http://teamsite_host:9080/iw/webdesk/xyz

How can we configure the TeamSite Servlet Engine in order not to respond to requests by users directly?
- We want the servlet engine to answer requests sent by localhost (apache webserver) only.
- The servlet engine should not answer any requests from IPs other than 127.0.0.1
- Firewall etc. is currently no option

Usually this can be achieved by a configuration like:

bindaddress=localhost
security.allowedAddresses=127.0.0.1

in a file like:

tomcat.properties

I couldn't find a file like this in the TeamSite directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Philipp
