| Description |
|---|
| Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The ports the ESX Agent Manager listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state. |

| At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep 'bio.http.port' /etc/vmware-eam/catalina.properties Expected result: bio.http.port=15005 If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
