 Related to this is that you should remove ``/root/.payara/pass`` to ensure that Payara isn't ever accidentally started as root. Without the password, Payara won't be able to start as root, which is a good thing.

+Restricting Payara's Ports to localhost
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+In the recommended setup of Dataverse, you do not expose Payara's ports directly to the Internet. Rather, you front Payara with a proxy such as Apache.
+
+If you are running Payara and your proxy on the same server, we recommend having Payara listen only to localhost, which is how your proxy talks to it, with the following command:
+
+``./asadmin set server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener-1.address=127.0.0.1``
+
+(You should **NOT** use the configuration option above if you are running in a load-balanced environment, or otherwise have your proxy on a different host than Payara.)
+
+To test that Payara is now only listening on localhost, try hitting port 8080 from the Internet. Payara should not respond.
