OHS must have the SSLEngine, SSLProtocol, and SSLWallet directives enabled and configured to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of information during reception.

Description
Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during reception, including, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and during packing/unpacking. These unauthorized disclosures or modifications compromise the confidentiality or integrity of the information. Protecting the confidentiality and integrity of received information requires that application servers take measures to employ approved cryptography in order to protect the information during transmission over the network. This is usually achieved through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS), SSL VPN, or IPsec tunnel. The web server must utilize approved encryption when receiving transmitted data.

Check Text ( C-65325r2_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.
