Access denied when trying to listen to non-standard vmware port

Hello all,

I am trying to fix an access restriction issue on ESXi 5.1.

I installed zabbix agent, which should listen on port 10050, but the service does not start due to vmware policies, it cannot bind the port 10050 for listening.

After looking at /scratch/log/vmkernel.log, I have this following error message :

2015-12-16T13:16:21.619Z cpu23:2089275)VmkAccess: 637: zabbix_agentd: access denied:: dom:appDom(2), obj:appDom(2), mode:inet_socket_bind(17) port no: (10050)

2015-12-16T13:16:21.619Z cpu23:2089275)VmkAccess: 207: ipAddr = 0.0.0.0, port = 10050

I search on google and read few posts about secpolicytools, but I don't really know if it is the tool to be used and how to use it.

Does anyone has already encountered this issue or has any idea on how to solve it ?

Thank You !

G
