ESX Agent Manager must not be configured with unsupported realms.

ESX Agent Manager performs authentication at the application level and not through Tomcat. To eliminate unnecessary features and ensure ESX Agent Manager remains in its shipping state, the lack of a "UserDatabaseRealm" configuration must be confirmed.

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# grep UserDatabaseRealm /usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/conf/server.xml

If the command produces any output, this is a finding.

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/conf/server.xml

Remove the <Realm> node returned in the check.

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart eam
