DWA: How to block access for default port 8080

Answer

To disable default port 8080 for DWA, remove this code bits from the server.xml file. By default it is at: C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS Web Access\server\conf

For example:

<!--
<Connector port="8080"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150"
minSpareThreads="25"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
compression="on"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/css,text/plain,te
xt/javascript,application/javascript,application/x-javascript"/
>
-->


Once the above session is commented out, re-run the dbadmin command to update the DOORS database and restart DWA.
