If using the WebLogic Web Server Proxy Plugin and configuring end-to-end SSL, OHS must have the WebLogicSSLVersion directive enabled to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information during transmission.

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.

If using the WebLogic Web Server Proxy Plugin and configuring end-to-end SSL:

1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that contains an SSL-enabled "" directive.

2. Search for the "WebLogicSSLVersion" directive within an "" at the virtual host configuration scope.

3. If the directive is omitted or is not set to "TLS versions 1.0 and greater", this is a finding.
