So, till now we looked at how to configure a Neo4j server in order to obtain optimum performance. However, in a practical scenario, we also need to ensure that our database server is secure enough to handle confidential and critical data. In this section, we will look at some aspects of securing the Neo4j database server.
When a Neo4j server is started, the default behavior is to bind the host to the localhost with the connection port as 7474. Hence only local requests from the same machine are serviced. You can configure this behavior in the conf/neo4j-server.properties file by uncommenting, adding, or modifying the following lines:
# http port (for all data, administrative, and UI access) org.neo4j.server.webserver.port=7474 #let the webserver only listen on the specified IP. Default #is localhost (only accept local connections). Uncomment to allow #any connection. #org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0
You can also restrict access...
