Description
Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities conducted by individuals communicating through a network, either an external network (e.g., the Internet) or an internal network. Application servers provide an HTTP-oriented remote management capability that is used for managing the application server as well as uploading and deleting applications that are hosted on the application server. Application servers need to ensure the communication channels used to remotely access the system utilize cryptographic mechanisms such as TLS.

1. Access AC 2. From 'Domain Structure', select 'Environment' -> 'Servers' 3. From the list of servers, select one which needs check for SSL configuration verification 4. From 'Configuration' tab -> 'General' tab, ensure 'Listen Port Enabled' checkbox is deselected 5. Ensure 'SSL Listen Port Enabled' checkbox is selected and a valid port number is in 'SSL Listen Port' field, e.g., 7002 6. From 'Configuration' tab -> 'Keystores' tab, ensure 'Custom Identity and Java Standard Trust' is selected in 'Keystores' section 7. Repeat steps 3-6 for all servers requiring SSL configuration checking If any of the servers requiring SSL have the 'Listen Port Enabled' selected or 'SSL Listen Port Enable' not selected or 'Custom Identity and Java Standard Trust' is not selected for the keystores, this is a finding.

1. Obtain an identity (private key and digital certificates) and trust (certificates of trusted certificate authorities) to configure on the server 2. Create Identity keystore and load private key and certificate using ImportPrivateKey java utility, example: $ java utils.ImportPrivateKey -certfile -keyfile [-keyfilepass ] -keystore -storepass [-storetype ] -alias [-keypass ] 3. Access AC 4. Utilize 'Change Center' to create a new change session 5. From 'Domain Structure', select 'Environment' -> 'Servers' 6. From the list of servers, select one which needs SSL set up 7. From 'Configuration' tab -> 'General' tab, deselect 'Listen Port Enabled' checkbox 8. Select 'SSL Listen Port Enabled' checkbox and enter a valid port number in 'SSL Listen Port' field, e.g., 7002 9. From 'Configuration' tab -> 'Keystores' tab, click 'Change' button in 'Keystores' section 10. From dropdown, select 'Custom Identity and Java Standard Trust' and click 'Save' 11.
