VCLD-70-000014 - VAMI must have resource mappings set to disable the serving of certain file types.

Information

Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and to identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client.

By not specifying which files can and which files cannot be served to a user, VAMI could deliver sensitive files.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

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

Add or reconfigure the following value:

url.access-deny = ( '~', '.inc' )

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart applmgmt
