Research direction

Start with the distribution README.md and review its existing installation and security guidance. Add community recommendations covering administrator password changes, limiting public exposure, disabling unused protocols, two-way SSL, and namespace or policyEntry resource and authorization limits. Done means the recommendations are clearly documented without changing implementation code.
