What do you mean by 'available of the public network' ?

Do you or your customer know how Bea works? When you setup a
server/portal you first setup an admin server and then as many managed
servers as you want. Some people only setup one admin server and run
their apps from it. The only difference is the admin console. (not
available in managed servers)

It is very possible that your customer has just setup one admin server.
(they should setup a managed server for better security) The console is
on the ip and port defined in the admin server. It could be
non-encrypted or encrypted based on what your settings are. This is not
a weakness. The user lockout is also a config setting.

Btw.. Bea 6.1 and below had very bad security. The fixed some in 7.x and
pretty much everything with 8.x and above. Ex: They used to store plain
text passwords in config files....ect

it's a good idea to read documentations from "site:bea.com" (could be
useful to find some interesting data...)
and take a look http://dev2dev.bea.com/advisoriesnotifications/ too
