| Description |
|---|
| Performance Charts performs user authentication at the application level and not through Tomcat. Depending on the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) version, Performance Charts may come configured with a "UserDatabaseRealm". This should be removed as part of eliminating unnecessary features. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep UserDatabaseRealm /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/server.xml If the command produces any output, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/server.xml Remove the <Realm> node returned in the check. Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart perfcharts |
