TMA-VMWARE-3.3
Host must deactivate the ESXi Managed Object Browser (MOB)
Description
The Managed Object Browser (MOB) is a web-based server application that lets you examine and change system objects and configurations. It is a prudent security measure to deactivate the MOB unless it's essential for operations. The parameter governing this behavior is Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob with a recommended setting of False. The audit reads Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob with esxcli and requires false (0). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Config/HostAgent/plugins/solo/enableMob: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 0 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Config/HostAgent/plugins/solo/enableMob = $v (expected false/0)"; fi- Sortie attendue
