I have a server on which apache tomcat 6.0.16 is installed and there are no web applications running.
But I have a axis2.war which is hosting few web services. Now after performing a Qualsys Security vulnerability check it gave me the following result:
Service name: Web server Vulnerability description: Web Server Uses Plain-Text Form Based Authentication Severity (scale of 1-5, 5 is highest): 3
I have searched for this error and what I gather is that this error happens for websites which requests web pages from a web server and the form of authentication used is plain text based. But my doubt is we do not have any web apps on the server running so which authentication it is asking for? Or if it is related to axis2.war?
Any suggestions would be of great help.
