How to secure ms/admin_port parameter

Hi gurus,  Is having a blank value for ms/admin_port just as good as having ms/admin_port set to 0 for securing the system?  Audit recommendations say the parameter should be 0.  The SAP online help says the default value for ms/admin_port is 0, but that is not true.  The default value, if you don't set the parameter is actually nothing (blank), not the value of zero.  This is true across all our systems on various releases.  Is the behavior of having the parameter set to blank and set to 0 is the same thing?

Hi

A value smaller or equal to 0 closes the admin port.

You can manage/check the status in transaction SMMS->Goto->Security Settings->Administration Port

Empty or 0 shows the same message - "No administration port has been opened".
