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 web server must provide the capability to disable or deactivate network-related services that are deemed to be non-essential to the server mission, are too unsecure, or are prohibited by the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments. An essential configuration file for tc Server is “catalina.properties”. The ports that tc Server listens to will be configured in that file.
At the command prompt, execute the following command: cat /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/tomcat-web-app/conf/catalina.properties | grep -E '\.port' Review the listed ports. Verify that they match the list below of tc Server UI ports. base.shutdown.port=-1 base.jmx.port=6969 vmware-ssl.https.port=8443 vmware-ajp13.jk.port=8009 vmware-ajp13.https.port=8443 vmware-bio.http.port=8080 vmware-bio.https.port=8443 If the ports are not as listed, this is a finding.
Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/tomcat-web-app/conf/catalina.properties Navigate to the ports specification section. Set the tc Server UI port specifications according to the list below: base.shutdown.port=-1 base.jmx.port=6969 vmware-ssl.https.port=8443 vmware-ajp13.jk.port=8009 vmware-ajp13.https.port=8443 vmware-bio.http.port=8080 vmware-bio.https.port=8443
