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.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-256620r888351_chk)

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 Text (F-60238r888350_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
