OH12-1X-000152 - OHS must have the LoadModule proxy_ftp_module directive disabled.

Information

A web server should be primarily a web server or a proxy server but not both, for the same reasons that other multi-use servers are not recommended. Scanning for web servers that will also proxy requests into an otherwise protected network is a very common attack making the attack anonymous.

Solution

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf with an editor.

2. Search for the 'LoadModule proxy_ftp_module' directive at the OHS server configuration scope.

3. Comment out the 'LoadModule proxy_ftp_module' directive if it exists.
