| 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 that the Security Token Service listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep 'bio' /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/conf/catalina.properties Expected result: bio-custom.http.port=7080 bio-custom.https.port=8443 bio-ssl-clientauth.https.port=3128 bio-ssl-localhost.https.port=7444 If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding. Note: Port 3128 will not be shown in the output prior to 7.0 U3i. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/conf/catalina.properties Navigate to the ports specification section. Set the Security Token Service port specifications according to the following list: bio-custom.http.port=7080 bio-custom.https.port=8443 bio-ssl-clientauth.https.port=3128 bio-ssl-localhost.https.port=7444 Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart sts |
