Technical Details

what runs on :4984

TCP port 4984 is the WebYaST management endpoint. Normal deployments serve the browser interface over HTTPS: a TLS handshake is followed by ordinary HTTP requests to the application, which also exposes REST-style management functionality. The port is WebYaST-specific rather than a general-purpose HTTPS port such as 443; installed components and configuration determine which management functions are available.

security overview

This is a remote system-administration interface, so an exposed instance may give an attacker a target for credential attacks or exploitation of the application and its components. Avoid exposing it directly to the internet; restrict access to trusted management networks or a VPN, keep the system and application patched, and remove the service if it is no longer needed.
