Description
Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform management functions. A web server can be accessed remotely and must be able to enforce remote access policy requirements or work in conjunction with enterprise tools designed to enforce policy requirements. vRA can be configured to redirect unencrypted, http port 80, traffic to use the encrypted, https port 443.

Check Text ( C-88877r1_chk )
At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep 'redirect scheme https' /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg Note: the command should return this line: 'redirect scheme https if !{ ssl_fc }' If the command does not return the expected line, this is a finding.
