VMware vSphere 6.7 RhttpProxy STIG: VCRP-67-000006 (in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)

Title

The rhttpproxy must have logging enabled. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

After a security incident has occurred, investigators will often review log files to determine what happened. The rhttpproxy must create logs upon service startup to capture information relevant to investigations.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: # xmllint --xpath '/config/log/outputToFiles' /etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/config.xml Expected result: <outputToFiles>true</outputToFiles> If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open /etc/vmware-rhttpproxy/config.xml. Locate the <config>/<log> block and configure <outputToFiles> as follows: <outputToFiles>true</outputToFiles> Restart the service for changes to take effect. # vmon-cli --restart rhttpproxy
