Discussion

Scripts allow server side processing on behalf of the hosted application user or as processes needed in the implementation of hosted applications. Removing scripts not needed for application operation or deemed vulnerable helps to secure the web server. To assure scripts are not added to the web server and run maliciously, those script mappings that are not needed or used by the web server for hosted application operation must be removed. Because tc Server is installed as part of the entire vRA application, and not installed separately, VMware has ensured that scripts not needed for application operation or deemed vulnerable have been removed from tc Server.
