Hi Kedar,

First off, great job on console! I like the GlassFish News Section.

(I hope there is a way to turn off the Internet access though).
Most of those is RSS feed, so without internet access, you don't see much.  

Hope these are simple questions on GlassFish v3 (latest workspace build):

1- Does anyone know how to turn on "security" on an http-listener? I see
   no check-box like interface when I do: Network Config -> Network Listeners
   ->(Choose a listener) -> View the property sheet.

The security enable attribute is not with the Network Listener,  it is specified in the Protocol that  is associated with the listener.  We  can  improve this by  adding a link to the protocol page in the Listener page itself as there maybe other attributes of the protocol that one may want to change besides security.
The easiest is click on the Protocol link in the Network Listeners table (attached listerns-table.gif)

My pet peeve is the name of the Protocol,  why a protocal has the name of "listener" ?? this is too confusing.

   It's hard to find the admin listener. Can we do something about it?
   (like -- Is it possible to provide a link to network listeners from HTTP
   Service configuration page?)
Yes, everything is possible,  almost, given the time :)

2- This is general observation with check-boxes. Regardless of status of these
   check-boxes, i.e. regardless whether they are checked or unchecked, I keep
   on seeing a label named "Enabled" (yes, that's right, even when the check-box
   is unchecked, it reads "Enabled").
   I think it is wrong and at times annoys me ;). Can we just remove the label?
No. Sorry ;-)
This is in accordance to our  HCI-Admin guideline.  Specified in section 7.2.1.1 Checkbox.   Please see attached image (checkbox.gif)
   If not, can we change it to obey the visual status of the check-box?
Thats is a label,  nothing to do with the actual status of that attribute.

   (See attached image that illustrates the point).
Maybe i am biased, but it is very clear to me that Enabled is not checked, so,  that particular attribute is disabled.  :)

Anissa.

Regards,
Kedar
