Description
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.
ℹ️ Check
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.
✔️ Fix
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
