Re: Limiting RMI to localhost

I'm writing a big application that I divide into 2 processes (server
and interface) with RMI to communicate between them.
I would like to limit the access to the server only from the interface
process and also only from the local machine.
Is there a way to limit RMI to localhost only?

I cannot block all sockets outside the machine since I use them in the
server process.

Can't you setup to RMI server socket to explicitly listen on localhost:<your port>? This way it shouldn't be accessible from outside.
