Deactivate Web Directory Browsing

As a security best practice, ensure that a user cannot browse through a directory because it can increase the risk of exposure to directory traversal attacks.
  1. Verify that web directory browsing is deactivated for all directories.
    1. Open the
      /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
      and
      /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/conf/vcops-apache.conf
      files in a text editor.
    2. Verify that for each
      <Directory>
      listing, the option called
      Indexes
      for the relevant tag is omitted from the
      Options
      line.
