Hi,
I've looked around for this for a while, but I was only able to dig up information on linux based OSes. Unfortunately, I didn't set up Tomcat on my linux based laptop since I wanted to have it on a desktop. Anyways, I've been reading about security for having tomcat running and open to the public. I changed my port to redirect to from 80 to 8080 from router to my pc. I'm also going to strengthen password. I also read that it is best not to run Tomcat as root. Is there something similar in windows that I should look out for to restrict privileges like that comparable to Linux based OSes?
What else should I look for? I've never hosted a site before, and I just wanted to take precautions. The site I am hosting is very simple and just shows a sample work from school and hopefully more as I develop side projects. I am running this on windows 7 64 bit.
Thank you! Help is always appreciated
