Re: Presentation = http://admin

As far as I know, this is related to OSE (Oracle Servlet Engine) shipped with 8.1.7 and, again afaik, not found in any other release. They had an HTTP server set up inside Oracle's VM and listener provided an endpoint that dispatched external calls to that internal server through an MTS dispatcher. There's a note on MetaLink which suggests that if you are not using OSE, you can disable this endpoint by disabling AURORA$SERVER$STARTUP and AURORA$SERVER$SHUTDOWN triggers as SYS (alter trigger xxx disable). Doing so will also automatically release TCP port 8080 that server grabs on startup.

The alias that has this presentation can only be used by mod_ose (OHS module for OSE) and should not be used for anything else.

Corrections and additions welcome.
