Discussion

Tomcat provides host management functionality through either a default host-manager webapp or through local editing of the configuration files. The host-manager webapp files must be deleted, and administration must be performed through the local editing of the configuration files.

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# ls -l /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/webapps/host-manager

If the manager folder exists or contains any content, this is a finding.

Fix Text

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/webapps/host-manager
