| 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 Lookup Service listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state. | ||||

Check Text (C-256734r888793_chk)
At the command prompt, run the following command:
# grep '\.port' /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/conf/catalina.properties
Expected result:
base.shutdown.port=-1
base.jmx.port=-1
bio-custom.http.port=7090
bio-custom.https.port=8443
If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-60352r888792_fix)
Navigate to and open:

Navigate to the port's specification section.
Set the Lookup Service port specifications according to the shipping configuration below:
base.shutdown.port=-1
base.jmx.port=-1
bio-custom.http.port=7090
bio-custom.https.port=8443
Restart the service with the following command:
# vmon-cli --restart lookupsvc
