Thanks for the feedback. In our case, the desire to install OEE doesn't have to do with security. The main reason for OEE is because it is the only user-friendly front-end that is provided for administration (see PS***). If the OEE port 9090 was disallowed to all remote clients, that would still be fine by us and it would still serve our purposes to log into the server in order to do administration. The KB article ( Progress KB - PASOE installation does not install the AdminServer ) doesn't take into consideration the legal aspects of installing something like PDSOE on a production server. Given the wording of that KB, I'm assuming you wouldn't burn up a whole license of PDSOE just in order to make OEE available on PASOE-PRODUCTION. I suspect it is only a very small percent of installations of PASOE-PRODUCTION that wouldn't include adminserver and/or OEE. AdminServer would "come along for the ride" any time a customer needs dataserver, the sonic-broker-adapter-service, etc. Thanks, David ***PS. This assumes that server admins don't have intimate knowledge of Progress, Tomcat, or the related command line tools. The routine admin work that is required for PASOE should not necessarily involve running tcman commands.
