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

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf and every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in it with an editor that contains a "DirectoryIndex" directive.

2. Search for the "DirectoryIndex" directive at the OHS server, virtual host, and directory configuration scopes.

3. If the directive and any surrounding "<IfModule dir_module>" directive exist and are not commented out, this is a finding.
