Vulnerability discussion

A web server can provide many features, services, and processes. Some of these may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. The web server must provide the capability to disable, uninstall, or deactivate functionality and services that are deemed to be non-essential to the web server mission or can adversely impact server performance.

Check content

If not using mod_plsql: 1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor. 2. Search for the "include moduleconf/*" directive at the OHS server configuration scope. Note: The complete line may be "include moduleconf/*.conf*". 3. If the directive exists and is not commented out, this is a finding.

Fix text

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
