OHS must have the SSLCipherSuite directive enabled to protect the integrity of remote sessions in accordance with the categorization of data hosted by the web server.

Description
Data exchanged between the user and the web server can range from static display data to credentials used to log into the hosted application. Even when data appears to be static, the non-displayed logic in a web page may expose business logic or trusted system relationships. The integrity of all the data being exchanged between the user and web server must always be trusted. To protect the integrity and trust, encryption methods should be used to protect the complete communication session.

Check Text ( C-64897r1_chk )
1. As required, 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. 2. Search for the "SSLCipherSuite" directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and/or directory configuration scopes. 3. If the directive is omitted or set improperly, this is a finding.
