OH12-1X-000007 - OHS must have the LoadModule ossl_module directive enabled to encrypt remote connections in accordance with the categorization of data hosted by the web server.

Information

The web server has several remote communications channels. Examples are user requests via http/https, communication to a backend database, or communication to authenticate users. The encryption used to communicate must match the data that is being retrieved or presented.

Methods of communication are http for publicly displayed information, https to encrypt when user data is being transmitted, VPN tunneling, or other encryption methods to a database.

Solution

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/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.
