Discussion

Tomcat provides documentation and other directories in the default installation that do not serve a production use. These files must be deleted.

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:

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

If the "docs" 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/docs
