OH12-1X-000013 - OHS must have the SSLEngine, SSLProtocol, and SSLWallet directives enabled and configured to protect the integrity of remote sessions in accordance with the categorization of data hosted by the web server - SSLEngine

Information

Data exchanged between the user and the web server can range from static display data to credentials used to log into the hosted application. Even when data appears to be static, the non-displayed logic in a web page may expose business logic or trusted system relationships. The integrity of all the data being exchanged between the user and web server must always be trusted. To protect the integrity and trust, encryption methods should be used to protect the complete communication session.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf with an editor that requires an SSL-enabled '<VirtualHost>' directive.
Note: Does not apply to admin.conf.

2a. Search for the 'SSLEngine' directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scopes.
2b. Set the 'SSLEngine' directive to 'On'; add the directive if it does not exist.

3a. Search for the 'SSLProtocol' directive at the OHS server configuration, virtual host, and/or directory levels.
3b. Set the 'SSLProtocol' directive to 'TLSv1.2'; add the directive if it does not exist.

4a. Search for the 'SSLWallet' directive at the OHS server configuration, virtual host, and/or directory levels.
4b. Set the 'SSLWallet' directive to the location (i.e., folder within $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/instances/<componentName>/keystores) of the Oracle wallet created via orapki with AES Encryption (-compat_v12 parameters) that contains only the identity certificate for the host and DoD Certificate Authorities, add the directive if it does not exist.
