Fixing a weak SSLCipherSuite

edited Aug 15, 2011 5:35PM in Oracle Application Express (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
We have a production Oracle Application Express installation that consists of two servers: an Oracle 11gR2 database  in the backend and an OHS 10.1.2.3 in the front end. A recent security scan pointed out a couple of issues for us to address:

1) Weak SSL

2) Use of SSLv2 instead of SSLv3

So, to address these concenrs I edited the $OHS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.conf and $OHS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf and replaced SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP
with:
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:+SSLv3:!SSLv2:+EXP:!NULL:!aNULL:!eNULL
And then stopped and restarted opmn services

Howdy, Stranger!
