Close ports 8080 and 8443 for wildfl 14

Question

I deployed wildfly 14 & Nginx on a pre-prodction server.Where Nginx is a reverse proxy. and I forced wildfly to use the ssl throught the 443 by adding a socket-binding

    <socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public">
      ...
      <socket-binding name="https-external" port="443"/>
      ...

and I modified the http-listener

<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" redirect-socket="https" enable-http2="true"/>

when I scan the server for the opened ports I found this result:

80/tcp   open     http
443/tcp  open     https
445/tcp  filtered microsoft-ds
8080/tcp open     http-proxy
8443/tcp open     https-alt

so how can I stop wildfly from listening on 8080 and 8443 whiout causing any damage and keeping the admin console accessible?

OK, here it is:

https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/0f873236ffe8a0ea9dc78acbf3b18d4a59fbb98a/docs/src/main/asciidoc/_admin-guide/Interfaces_and_ports.adoc

This piece of documentation states there's a XML section like this:

<interfaces>
  <interface name="management">
   <inet-address value="127.0.0.1"/>
  </interface>
  <interface name="public">
   <inet-address value="127.0.0.1"/>
  </interface>
</interfaces>

Just look if inet-address for both public and management interfaces are set to the value above, and I think you'll have it working as expected.
