| Description |
|---|
| ESX Agent Manager performs authentication at the application level and not through Tomcat. To eliminate unnecessary features and ensure ESX Agent Manager remains in its shipping state, the lack of a "UserDatabaseRealm" configuration must be confirmed. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep UserDatabaseRealm /usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/conf/server.xml If the command produces any output, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/conf/server.xml Remove the <Realm> node returned in the check. Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart eam |
