Host must configure a session timeout for the API

MittelStufe 1Automatisiertvmware

Beschreibung

A designated timeout ensures that sessions are not left open indefinitely, thereby reducing the exposure window for potential security threats. The parameter governing this behavior is Config.HostAgent.vmacore.soap.sessionTimeout with a recommended setting of 30 seconds. The audit reads Config.HostAgent.vmacore.soap.sessionTimeout with esxcli and requires the recommended 30 or less (0 disables the timeout and fails). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

So wird geprüft

Prüfmethode: Shell-Befehl

shell

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Config/HostAgent/vmacore/soap/sessionTimeout 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$1=="Int" && $2=="Value:" {print $3; exit}')
case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Config/HostAgent/vmacore/soap/sessionTimeout: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -gt 0 ] && [ "$v" -le 30 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Config/HostAgent/vmacore/soap/sessionTimeout = $v (expected 1-30)"; fi

Erwartete Ausgabe: compliant

So wird behoben

Behebungsmethode: Anleitung oder Infrastruktur-Patch

1. Set the approved timeout with: Get-VMHost | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name Config.HostAgent.vmacore.soap.sessionTimeout | Set- AdvancedSetting -Value <seconds> -Confirm:$false 2. Validate administrative integrations after the change.
