Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open:

/etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/config.xml

Locate the first <ssl> block and set its content to the following:

<ssl>
<!-- The server private key file -->
<privateKey>/etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/ssl/rui.key</privateKey>
<!-- The server side certificate file -->
<certificate>/etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/ssl/rui.crt</certificate>
<!-- vecs server name. Currently vecs runs on all node types. -->
<vecsServerName>localhost</vecsServerName>
</ssl>

Restart the service for changes to take effect.

# vmon-cli --restart rhttpproxy

Check Contents

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# xmllint --xpath '/config/ssl' /etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/config.xml

Expected result:

<ssl>
<!-- The server private key file -->
<privateKey>/etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/ssl/rui.key</privateKey>
<!-- The server side certificate file -->
<certificate>/etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/ssl/rui.crt</certificate>
<!-- vecs server name. Currently vecs runs on all node types. -->
<vecsServerName>localhost</vecsServerName>
</ssl>

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