IPFilter.block_wbem

Headline	BLOCK incoming WBEM https connections with IPFilter.
Default	N
Description	Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a Distributed Management
	Task Force (DMTF) industry standard, http(s)-based management protocol
	which features encryption and authentication. It is much better than SNMP,
	which has a history of security issues and is by default a clear-text,
	unauthenticated protocol. Like SNMP, WBEM can be a powerful aid in
	managing multiple machines and it is by default much more secure. However,
	any service can be a security risk, so you should block it if you are not going
	to use it.

Default	Y
Description	Port 1188 is used by web-based tools that are replacements for areas of SAM.
	The listener on this port is the HP release of Apache with a custom
	configuration file that loads only a minimum set of modules. It is also restricted

	management tools. In general, this web server is running only when in use.
	It exits after a period of inactivity. Disabling this port means that some system
	administration functions are only available using the command line.
