Discussion

Tomcat provides management functionality through either a default manager webapp or through local editing of the configuration files. The manager webapp files must be deleted, and administration must be performed through the local editing of the configuration files.

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# ls -l /var/opt/apache-tomcat/webapps/manager

If the manager folder exists or contains any content, this is a finding.

Fix Text

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# rm -rf /var/opt/apache-tomcat/webapps/manager
