Question

Some customers have very restricted network policies where the appliances are not allow to go outside of their corporate network, therefore they need to disable the Marketplace.

Answer

Workaround:
 
Follow the instructions below to turn-off the Marketplace banner:
 
1-SSH the ArcMC.
2-Open the logger.defaults.properties file:

vi /opt/arcsight/arcmc/config/logger/logger.defaults.properties

3-Once the file is open run the search command below, just copy and paste and hit enter when the file is open:
   /marketplace.domain=marketplace.saas.hpe.com
 
This will redirect you to the line where this parameter is located.
 
4-comment the line "marketplace.domain=marketplace.saas.hpe.com", it should look like this:
#Marketplace production server domain
#marketplace.domain=marketplace.saas.hpe.com
 
5-Save and quit the file.
6-Go back to the web browser.
7-Go to Administration > System Admin > Process Status.
8-Restart the web processes.

With these changes ArcMC will not not longer try to connector the Marketplace. 
 
Currently there is a feature request to add an option to disable the Market Place from the web browser, ARCMC-10817.
