Information
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.
Solution
1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf and $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/ssl.conf with an editor.
2. Search for a '<Directory '${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/fmwconfig/components/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/instances/${COMPONENT_NAME}/cgi-bin'>' directive at the OHS server and virtual host configuration scopes.
3. Comment out the '<Directory '${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/fmwconfig/components/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/instances/${COMPONENT_NAME}/cgi-bin'>' directive and any directives it contains if they exist.
