Before you begin
When the VersionVault WAN server is first installed, its
administration URLs are accessible to anyone who has web access to the server machine
(http://versionvault-wan-server/ccrc/admin/*). It is important to secure access to
these URLs to prevent unauthorized users from seeing sensitive session and configuration
information.
