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 port 5433 on behalf of the PostgreSQL service.
At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep 'bind' /etc/haproxy/conf.d/10-psql.cfg If the value for bind is not set to 5433, this is a finding.
Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/conf.d/10-psql.cfg Navigate to and configure the "frontend psql-local" section with the following value: bind 127.0.0.1:5433
