Description
Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The ports the ESX Agent Manager listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state.
ℹ️ Check
At the command prompt, run the following command:
# grep 'bio.http.port' /etc/vmware-eam/catalina.properties
Expected result:
bio.http.port=15005
If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Navigate to and open:
/etc/vmware-eam/catalina.properties
Navigate to the port's specification section.
Set the ESX Agent Manager port specifications according to the following:
bio.http.port=15005
Restart the service with the following command:
# vmon-cli --restart eam
