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 8283 on behalf of the vro configuration service.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:
 
grep 'bind' /etc/haproxy/conf.d/30-vro-config.cfg
 
If the value for bind is not set to "8283", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/conf.d/30-vro-config.cfg

Navigate to and configure the "frontend https-in-vro-config" section with the following value:  

bind :8283 ssl crt /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3
