OH12-1X-000135 - OHS must have the LoadModule proxy_http_module directive disabled.

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. The proxy_http_module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides the features used for proxying HTTP and HTTPS requests. If proxy services are required, the proxy configuration must be approved by the AO.

Solution

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

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

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