Vulnerability discussion

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a required transmission protocol for a web server hosting controlled information. The use of TLS provides confidentiality of data in transit between the web server and client. FIPS 140-2 approved TLS versions must be enabled and non-FIPS-approved SSL versions must be disabled.NIST SP 800-52 defines the approved TLS versions for government applications.

Check content

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor. 2. Search for the "LoadModule ossl_module" directive at the OHS server configuration scope. 3. If the directive is omitted, this is a finding. 4. Validate that the file specified exists. If the file does not exist, this is a finding.

Fix text

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor. 2. Search for the "LoadModule ossl_module" directive at the OHS server configuration scope. 3. Set the "LoadModule ossl_module" directive to ""${PRODUCT_HOME}/modules/mod_ossl.so"", add the directive if it does not exist.

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.
