Description
Preventing the disclosure of transmitted information requires that the web server take measures to employ some form of cryptographic mechanism in order to protect the information during transmission. This is usually achieved through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS). Transmission of data can take place between the web server and a large number of devices/applications external to the web server. Examples are a web client used by a user, a backend database, an audit server, or other web servers in a web cluster. If data is transmitted unencrypted, the data then becomes vulnerable to disclosure. The disclosure may reveal user identifier/password combinations, website code revealing business logic, or other user personal information.

Check Text ( C-65287r2_chk )
1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that requires an SSL-enabled "" directive. Note: Does not apply to admin.conf. 2. Search for the following directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scopes: "SSLEngine" "SSLProtocol" "SSLWallet" 3. If any of these directives are omitted, this is a finding. 4. If "SSLEngine" is not set to "On" or "SSLProtocol" is not set to "TLS versions 1.1 and greater", this is a finding. 5. Validate that the folder specified in the "SSLWallet" directive exists. If the folder does not exist or contain a valid wallet, this is a finding.

1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that requires an SSL-enabled "" directive. Note: Does not apply to admin.conf. 2a. Search for the "SSLEngine" directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scopes. 2b. Set the "SSLEngine" directive to "On", add the directive if it does not exist. 3a. Search for the "SSLProtocol" directive at the OHS server configuration, virtual host, and/or directory levels. 3b. Set the "SSLProtocol" directive to "TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1", add the directive if it does not exist. 4a. Search for the "SSLWallet" directive at the OHS server configuration, virtual host, and/or directory levels. 4b. Set the "SSLWallet" directive to the location (i.e., folder within $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/instances//keystores) of the Oracle wallet created via orapki with AES Encryption (-compat_v12 parameters) that contains only the identity certificate for the host and DoD Certificate Authorities, add the directive if it does not exist.
