OH12-1X-000116 - OHS must have the LoadModule cgid_module directive disabled for mpm workers - cgid_module

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 with an editor.

2. Search for the 'LoadModule cgid_module' directive within the '<IfModule mpm_worker_module>' directive at the OHS server configuration scope.

3. Comment out the 'LoadModule cgid_module' directive and surrounding '<IfModule mpm_worker_module>' directives if they exist.
