check out this thread:
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=64172&tstart=150
essentially, to "hide your server" to limit vulnerablity by people knowing what type server you have.
1. edit magnus.conf and add a line:
ServerString MYWEBSERVER
2. edit obj.conf and add this at the top:
(right under)<Object name="default">
<Client method="TRACE">
AuthTrans fn="set-variable" remove-headers="transfer-encoding" set-headers="content-length: -1" error="501"
</Client>(make sure the AuthTrans is one line!)
3. remove or rename favicon.ico
4. remove default html docs or redo doc root so iplanet generic web page not available.
BUT, all this does is limit people from knowing what type server you have, it does NOTHING to actually secure your server. Updated patches are your best security. (although if you have a security audit, these will be the first recommendations, lol)

devanet175, it looks like you ended up in the wrong forum. This is the Sun Java System Web Server forum. You should ignore the advice you've been offered so far; it doesn't pertain to iPlanet Messaging Server.
You want the Sun Java System Messaging Server forum. Hopefully someone there will be able to help you.
