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 that Lookup Service 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 '\.port' /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/conf/catalina.properties
Expected result:
base.shutdown.port=-1
base.jmx.port=-1
bio-custom.http.port=7090
bio-custom.https.port=8443
If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Navigate to and open:
/usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/conf/catalina.properties
Navigate to the port's specification section.
Set the Lookup Service port specifications according to the shipping configuration below:
base.shutdown.port=-1
base.jmx.port=-1
bio-custom.http.port=7090
bio-custom.https.port=8443
Restart the service with the following command:
# vmon-cli --restart lookupsvc
