Disable Access to Workflows from Web Service Clients
To prevent malicious attempts from Web service clients to access sensitive servers, you can configure the
Orchestrator server to deny access to Web service requests.
By default, Orchestrator permits access to workflows from Web service clients. You disable access to workflows
from Web service clients by setting a system property in the Orchestrator configuration file, vmo.properties.
IMPORTANT If the vmo.properties configuration file does not contain this property, or if the property is set to
false, Orchestrator permits access to workflows from Web services.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the following folder on the Orchestrator server system.
installation_directory
\VMware\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\conf
2 Open the vmo.properties configuration file in a text editor.
3 Add the following line to the vmo.properties configuration file.
#Disable Web service access
com.vmware.o11n.web-service-disabled = true
4 Save the vmo.properties file.
5 Restart the Orchestrator server.
You disabled access to workflows Web service clients. The Orchestrator server only answers Web service client
calls from the echo() or echoWorkflow() methods, for testing purposes.
