VCST-67-000010 - The Security Token Service must not be configured with unused realms.

Information

The Security Token Service performs user authentication at the application level and not through Tomcat. To eliminate unnecessary features and ensure that the Security Token Service remains in its shipping state, the lack of a 'UserDatabaseRealm' configuration must be confirmed.

Solution

Connect to the PSC, whether external or embedded.

Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/conf/server.xml.

Remove the <Realm> nodes returned in the check.
