VCST-70-000028 - The Security Token Service must be configured with the appropriate ports. - ssl-clientauth.https

Information

Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The ports that the Security Token Service listens on are configured in the 'catalina.properties' file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/conf/catalina.properties

Navigate to the ports specification section.

Set the Security Token Service port specifications according to the following list:

bio-custom.http.port=7080
bio-custom.https.port=8443
bio-ssl-clientauth.https.port=3128
bio-ssl-localhost.https.port=7444

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart sts
