VCEM-67-000013 - ESX Agent Manager must have mappings set for Java servlet pages.

Information

Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client.

By not specifying which files can and cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc.

Because Tomcat is a Java-based web server, the main file extension used is *.jsp. This check ensures that the *.jsp file type has been properly mapped to servlets.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/webapps/eam/WEB-INF/web.xml

Navigate to and locate the mapping for the JSP servlet. The <servlet-mapping> node contains <servlet-name>JspServlet</servlet-name>.

Configure the <servlet-mapping> node to look like the code snippet below:

<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>JspServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
