The Security Token Service must only run one webapp.

VMware ships the Security Token Service on the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) with one webapp, in "ROOT.war". Any other ".war" file is potentially malicious and must be removed.

Satisfies: SRG-APP-000131-WSR-000073, SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000075

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# ls /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/webapps/*.war 

Expected result:

/usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/webapps/ROOT.war

If the result of this command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

For each unexpected file returned in the check, run the following command:

# rm /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/webapps/<NAME>.war 

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart sts
