Discussion

Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that utilize TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The HAProxy load balancer in the vRA appliance listens to ports 80 and 443 on behalf of the vcac service.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:
 
grep 'bind' /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg
 
If two lines are not returned, this is a finding. 

If the values for bind are not set to "80" and to "443", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg

Navigate to and configure the "frontend https-in" section with the following two values:  

bind 0.0.0.0:80
bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /etc/apache2/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3
