Discussion

Lighttpd is used as the web server for vRealize Automation's Virtual Appliance Management Interface (vAMI). To segregate appliance management from appliance operation, Lighttpd can be configured to listen on a separate port. Port 5488 is the recommended port setting.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

grep '^server.port' /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

If the value of "server.port" is not "5480", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file

Configure the lighttpd.conf file with the following:

server.port = 5480
