Lookup Service must be configured with the appropriate ports.

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.

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.

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
