What process in pega uses port 7003 ? Getting a plain text authentication warning
Hello all,
So in our project we received a warning from our security team regarding some plain text authentication occurring on our Pega server. We've looked into it and we see that Pega is listening on that port with a GET request showing up as "GET /exchweb/bin/auth/ HTTP/1.1 Host: servername:7003 Connection: Keep-Alive".
We are thinking it has do with our interfacing with Kafka as the timing seems to be matching up with when that went live but we are not sure and I'm not turning up much in research. Is there a specific process that uses port 7003 or run into this same issue before and how was it resolved?
