Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open:

/opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Replace all "ssl.use-*" lines with the following:

ssl.use-sslv2="disable"
ssl.use-sslv3="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv10="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv11="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv12="enable"

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart applmgmt

Check Contents

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# /opt/vmware/sbin/vami-lighttpd -p -f /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 2>/dev/null|grep "ssl.use"|sed 's: ::g'

Expected result:

ssl.use-sslv2="disable"
ssl.use-sslv3="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv10="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv11="disable"
ssl.use-tlsv12="enable"

If the output does not match the expected result, 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:
