Commvault services visible in the network scan tool


Hello Commvault Community,

Is it possible to change or hide the name of the service that is visible on commserve that appears when we’re scanning ports with a network scanner? In the attachments there is a screenshot showing exactly what we mean - scanningportbynmaptool.png

 

Can we rename or hide it instead of "Commvault Webserver"? Will it have an impact on the operation of WebServer - probably Commvault systems refer to it, hence the question.

 

Thanks for help,
Kamil

HI @Kamil ,

Development confirmed, there should not be any regression changing the text from “Commvault Webserver” in server.xml.

  1. Stop the Tomcat Server.

  2. Go to software_installation_path/Apache/Conf, and then back up the server.xml file that is part of the Apache configuration.

  3. In the server.xml file, replace “Commvault Webserver” by what you would like, for ex “Webserver”. You find it in two places:

    <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="600000" redirectPort="443" server="WebServer"

SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true" server="WebServer"

  1. Save the server.xml file
  2. Start Tomcat Server

Best Regards,

Sebastien

Good afternoon.  Can you please tell me what Platform Release you are currently on?  The Commvault Web Server normally shows as “TomCat” in scans.  I am reaching out to resources in Development to see if anything has changed.  I will update once I have a response.

Hi @Kamil ,

I know how to change it, as far as I can see, this is not causing any issues but I need to confirm with Development.

I will let you know.

Best Regards,

Sebastien

Mmmmm would be nice if this would become the default to make the webserver component less referable to Commvault.

Hello @Sebastien Merluzzi & @Onno van den Berg 

 

@Onno van den Berg very good point. 

 

I have an additional question, has anyone checked that, for example that after updating commvault version there are no problems with communication or you have to do it again?

HI @Onno van den Berg , @Kamil ,

You can raise a CMR and Development will check.

Best Regards,

Sebastien
