I see very easily exploited security issue with the ArcGIS 10+ Server Manager login.
Instead of redirecting to secured login page, a modal container is displayed on top of the page.
Very poor security design.

You can easily delete the LoginFormBackdrop in Chrome and circumvent the login.
Hacker's paradise.

To be secure, DO NOT  Enable administrative access to your site through the Web Adaptor.
I don't know how ESRI let that go for so long without a fix.

Yes, that is why we do not use Web Adaptor.
