Discussion

A web server can provide many features, services, and processes. Some of these may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. The web server must provide the capability to disable, uninstall, or deactivate functionality and services that are deemed to be non-essential to the web server mission or can adversely impact server performance.

Check Content

Obtain supporting documentation from the ISSO.

Review the web server documentation and deployed configuration to determine if web server features, services, and processes are installed that are not needed for hosted application deployment.

If excessive features, services, and processes are installed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Uninstall or deactivate features, services, and processes not needed by the web server for operation.
