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 with an editor.

2. Search for the "LoadModule cgid_module" directive within the "<IfModule mpm_worker_module>" directive at the OHS server configuration scope.

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

Fix Text
