OH12-1X-000322 - OHS must have the SSLEngine, SSLProtocol, and SSLWallet directives enabled and configured to maintain the confidentiality of controlled information during transmission through the use of an approved TLS version - SSLWallet

Information

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.

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.
