Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/configuration/conf/web.xml.

Navigate to and locate the mapping for the JSP servlet. It is the <servlet-mapping> node that contains <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>.

Configure the <servlet-mapping> node to look like the code snippet below:

   <!-- The mappings for the JSP servlet -->
   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
       <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# xmllint --format /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/configuration/conf/web.xml | sed 's/xmlns=".*"//g' | xmllint --xpath '/web-app/servlet-mapping/servlet-name[text()="jsp"]/parent::servlet-mapping' -

Expected result:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
