VCEM-67-000019 - ESX Agent Manager must limit the number of allowed connections.

Information

Limiting the number of established connections to the ESX Agent Manager is a basic denial-of-service protection. Servers where the limit is too high or unlimited can potentially run out of system resources and negatively affect system availability.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/conf/server.xml

Configure the <Connector> node with the following value:

acceptCount='300'
