Due to the fact that all of the files for Maximo Self Service application are served from one directory (maximo_installation) by the integrated Tomcat server, the files not recognized by Tomcat as needing to be run (*.jsps or mapped servlets) are not protected. Therefore, if one was to call upon a known Maximo file name (such as MXServer.properties, they would receive the file just like a request for download from any other web server. This means that everything under the maximo_install directory are semi-open to the public. This includes stored passwords and database locations in these files.
