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-259128r960963_chk)

At the command prompt, run the following command: # xmllint --xpath "//Host/@autoDeploy" /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/conf/server.xml Expected result: autoDeploy="false" If "autoDeploy" does not equal "false", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-62777r935287_fix)

Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/conf/server.xml Navigate to the <Host> node and configure with the value "autoDeploy="false"". Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart vsphere-ui
