Deactivate the Trace Method for the Apache2 Server

In standard production operations, use of diagnostics can reveal undiscovered vulnerabilities that lead to compromised data. To prevent misuse of data, deactivate the HTTP
Trace
method.
  1. To verify the
    Trace
    method for the Apache2 server, run the following command
    grep TraceEnable /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/conf/vcops-apache.conf
    .
  2. To deactivate the
    Trace
    method for the Apache2 server, run the following command
    sed -i "/^[^#]*TraceEnable/ c\TraceEnable off" /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/conf/vcops-apache.conf
    .
