VCUI-80-000067 The vCenter UI service 'ErrorReportValve showServerInfo' must be set to 'false'.

Information

The Error Report Valve is a simple error handler for HTTP status codes that will generate and return HTML error pages. It can also be configured to return predefined static HTML pages for specific status codes and/or exception types. Disabling 'showServerInfo' will only return the HTTP status code and remove all CSS from the default nonerror-related HTTP responses.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/conf/server.xml

Locate the following Host block:

<Host ...>
...
</Host>

Inside this block, add or update the following on a new line:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve" showServerInfo="false" showReport="false"/>

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart vsphere-ui
