Disabling the GeoServer console
-------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3561
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3561

          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.7.x, 2.0.x
         Environment: Applies to all platforms.

For security purposes, it would be a good idea to have the option to disable the configuration console. Currently, the console runs always even when in production the configuration rarely changes. In cases where there are separate (development/)test/production environmenta, the production server might never need to have the console enabled as configuration can be injected through the data directory.

One good method of disabling the console would be a system property. (For example, adding -Dgeoserver.console=disabled to the java parameters). This allow using the same geoserver deployment (.war) in both test and production.
