Fix Recommendation

From the Tomcat server as a privileged user, edit the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml file: set the Server port setting to -1 and restart the Tomcat server.

<Server port="-1" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

sudo systemctl restart tomcat
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Check Contents

From the Tomcat server run the following OS command:

$ sudo grep -i shutdown $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml

Ensure the server shutdown port attribute in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml is set to -1.

EXAMPLE:
<Server port="-1" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

If Server port not = "-1" shutdown="SHUTDOWN", this is a finding.
