Description
Data exchanged between the user and the web server can range from static display data to credentials used to log in the hosted application. Even when data appears to be static, the nondisplayed logic in a web page may expose business logic or trusted system relationships. The integrity of all the data being exchanged between the user and web server must always be trusted. To protect the integrity and trust, encryption methods should be used to protect the complete communication session. To protect the integrity and confidentiality of the remote sessions, VAMI uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS). Satisfies: SRG-APP-000015-WSR-000014, SRG-APP-000315-WSR-000003

Check Text (C-259138r1003688_chk)

At the command prompt, run the following command: # /opt/vmware/cap_lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd -p -f /var/lib/vmware/cap-lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 2>/dev/null|grep "ssl.engine" Example result: ssl.engine = "enable" If "ssl.engine" is not set to "enable", this is a finding. Note: The command must be run from a bash shell and not from a shell generated by the "appliance shell". Use the "chsh" command to change the shell for the account to "/bin/bash". Refer to KB Article 2100508 for more details: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2100508

Fix Text (F-62787r1003687_fix)

Navigate to and open: /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/applmgmt-lighttpd.conf Add or reconfigure the following value: ssl.engine = "enable" Restart the service with the following command: # systemctl restart cap-lighttpd
