How do I disable SSLV3 in Oracle HTTP SERVER to prevent POODLE attacks?

How do I disable SSLV3 in Oracle HTTP SERVER to prevent POODLE attacks?
I see the line in the ssl.conf file:
SSLCipherSuite SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5:SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA:SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA:SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA:SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5:SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA
but I'm not sure which ciphers are SSLV3.
Thanks,

Hi Andy,
For this, we highly recommend you to open a SR with Oracle support and Security team would be assisting you on how to get this fixed.

How to create a service for Oracle HTTP Server

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I would like to create a service for an Oracle HTTP Server.
We are running APEX 3.2 on an 10.2.0.4 database (not XE).
We have a Windows XP system.
To run APEX on a 10g we need the HTTP Server.
Unfortunately no service was created while the installing of the Oracle HTTP Server.
How can I create a service later. After the installation.
I know that you can create a service with Instrsrv.exe and Srvany.exe. But I dont know wheather I can use this in this case.
I need an .exe file for that.
The HTTP-Server has the opmnctl.exe.
But I have to write opmnctl.exe startall when I start or opmnctl.exe stopall when I want to stop it . How can I realize that in a Service?
Thanks for your answer

Oracle HTTP Server + PHP

Does anyone know how to enable PHP support on Oracle HTTP Server (from Oracle DB Companion CD)? I tried to compile PHP on it, bet I get the following error:
Configuring SAPI modules
checking for AOLserver support... no
checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS...
Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons:
1. Perl is not installed;
2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/cp_1/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs follows
ld.so.1: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/cp_1/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd: fatal: libdms2.so: open failed: No such file
or directory
apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available
apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
apxs:Error: binary `/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/cp_1/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd'.
configure: error: Aborting
Oracle HTTP server does not have DSO support, is there some possibility to enable it? Or there exists another way to enable PHP support on Oracle HTTP server.

Could you paste the full command line you used to run the configure script? My initial guess is that you didn't specify the full path to Apache's apxs (usually located somewhere around "$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs"). Among other things, try making sure you've specified "--with-apxs=$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs" on the command line.
If you don't know where apxs might be, you can also usually try finding apxs with "find / -name apxs > find.out". If you have "find" on your flavor of *n?x, this will output all files exactly matching the name "apxs" to a file named "find.out" in your current directory. You can usually view the file by running "cat find.out" on the command line. Look for lines in the file with "Apache" on them and/or your Oracle install directory (or $ORACLE_HOME).

How to install Soap on the (Apache) Oracle HTTP Server

Hi,
Does anyone know how to install SOAP on the Oracle HTTP Server? I downloaded a soap version (it seems that the standard version comes without SOAP) from the xml.apache.org site and followed the installation instructions as far as I could (only Tomcat is described). However, no 'soaping'!!! Maybe I'm overlooking something because I cannot imagine that it should be difficult.
Thanks in advance!
Hans

Hans, the SOAP implementation is part of OC4J. You get it out of the box. Check out how to use the out-of-the-box implementation in the tutorials on Web services with Oracle9i JDeveloper at:
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/webservices/htdocs/series/content.html
These tutorials/samples use the implementation of SOAP/WSDL that Oracle calls J2EE Web Services and this is the long term direction of Oracle's Web services implementation. This implementation is what Oracle will be evolving to Sun's Java Web Services Developer Pack as it finalizes into J2EE 1.4.
If you want to use Oracle/Apache SOAP, this too is included in OC4J but its support is being deprecated in future releases of Oracle9iAS in favour of the J2EE Web Services implementation. To find it, check out the OC4J/soap/webapps/ directory for the soap.ear file (it is in a slightly different spot if you are using the full Oracle9iAS R2 but still within the soap directory structure. Simply add <application name="soap" path="../../../soap/webapps/soap.ear" auto-start="true"/> to your OC4J server.xml and <web-app application="soap" name="soap" root="/soap" /> to your OC4J http-web-site.xml, re-start and away you go.
Finally, just to be sure, SOAP support in Oracle9iAS did not appear until 1.0.2.2.x and higher. If using 1.0.2.1 or less, you are correct, there is no SOAP support.
Mike.
Most folks that try out the J2EE Web Services find it is pretty easy to use so

I have installed Oracle Apex 4.1 on Oracle 10g database but I want to configure Oracle HTTP Server on another Server(Microsoft Windows 2008 R2). Here I have placed Apache Tomcat 6.0 version already. Can anyone please tell me how is it possible to install and configure Oracle HTTP Server on Windows 2008 along with Apache Tomcat?Why? Installing OHS and the DB on separate servers will incur additional licensing costs.
More common confugrations would be to use Apache as a reverse proxy to an OHS+DB server, or Tomcat+APEX Listener with a DB server and not using OHS at all. (Although I understand Tomcat is not an Oracle-supported platform for the APEX Listener. For any questions on this or other Listener-related topics use the {forum:id=858} forum.)

Sun Web Server Reverse Proxy and Weblogic HTTP to HTTPS redirection

Hi,
I am currently testing reverse-proxy from SJSW 7.0 update 5 to Weblogic server but I have encountered an issue.
I have configured a context root to be forwarded to weblogic:
Web Server: www.server.com
URI: /path
Reverse Proxy URL: wlserver:9000
When I access https://www.server.com/path, I am getting the correct page. The issue is, the weblogic server is configured to redirect HTTP access to HTTPS, i.e., when I access http://www.server.com/path, it should be redirected to https://www.server.com/path. However, that is not the case. What happens is that I am being redirected instead to https://www.server.com/.
If I don't use reverse proxy, that is, if I use the libproxy.so from weblogic, I get the correct redirection.
Would appreciate it very much if someone can help me troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure, how you have configured your reverse proxy since you didn't attach / refer your current configuration file. this is how I would do it..
- create a new configuration (using web server 7 admin gui , within configuration wizard, disable java option if you plan to use web server 7 only for reverse proxy)
- select this new configuration and go to reverse proxy and try to reverse proxy / to the origin server.
that is all it should need.
your obj.conf or <hostname>-obj.conf depending on your configuration should look like following snippet
<Object name="default">
AuthTrans..
NameTrans fn=map from="/" to="/path" name="reverse-proxy-/"
</object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/">
Route fn=....
Service ..
</Object>
this is all you should need..
However, if you wanted to add complexity to your configuration, you could do some thing like
<Object name="default">
Auth..
<If defined $security>
NameTrans fn=map from="/" to="/path" name="reverse-proxy-/"
</If>
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/">

How to integrate Oracle Http Server with Weblogic

Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server. Oracle Http Server (OHS) is based on Apache 2.0. I am trying to configure Weblogic to use OHS that comes with OAS install as proxy on Linux environment. I am unable to get the WLS plugin for Apache to work with OHS. When I tried to start the OHS, I got the following errors:
/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
Syntax error on line 1125 of /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_wl128_20.so into server: /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_wl128_20.so: undefined symbol: apr_pool_cleanup_null
I checked the library, and I found in several places, such as /usr/lib.
The following is the configuration that I put in http.conf file:
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7001
MatchExpression /AIP
</IfModule>
<Location /weblogic>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7001
DebugConfigInfo ON
PathTrim /weblogic
</Location>
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks.

You're right: Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server but you are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 which is based on Apache *1.3* as you can read in "Oracle® HTTP Server Administrator's Guide"
10g (10.1.3.1.0) - Part Number B28948-01 - 1.1 Oracle HTTP Server Features, right under "Based on Apache - HTTP v1.1 Support" at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28948/overview.htm#i1008837.
As far as I know, the only OHS based on Apache *2.0* is available as a standalone release: "Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2.0) (10.1.3.3.0) for Linux x86" - 32bit. You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html (as_101330_apache2_lnx.zip).
I've tested it successfully.

Strange error when enabling SSL on Oracle HTTP Server

Hi,
In our production environment Oracle HTTP Server starts fine when SSL is disabled.
We've enabled SSL in our dev/uat environments using instructions from the Oracle Documentation. It was pretty straightforward.
When i tried to do the same in our production environment, the Oracle HTTP Server wouldnt restart. I've had a look around the forums and havent seen anyone report the same error we are seeing in the logfile.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any idea how we can get this working?
Thanks,

Noticed that when it starts with apachectl startssl, it doesnt like any <VirtualHost directive
The line in the dms.conf file that it errors out at is :
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:7201>
When i added a redirect the httpd.conf file, it errors out at the <VirtualHost line also
Any idea why the Oracle HTTP Server wouldnt like <VirtualHost directives when running startssl?

Configuring a Apache Reverse Proxy for OracleAS Portal and OracleAS Single

I'm trying to implement my Oracle Portal 10g Release 2 with a reverse proxy (Apache 2.2) as described in this link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13998/variants.htm#BEIFECEH without success. I have Oracle Portal, Oracle SSO,OID in the same domain and Apache Reverse Proxy in another domain. Has anyone had success using OracleAS Portal with a reverse proxy?

First of all i'm trying to configure a reverse proxy only for Ora SSO (infra tier). Here is what i already do:
APACHE REVERSE PROXY (Apache 2.2)
http:/proxy.mycompany.com:80
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPassInterpolateEnv On
ProxyPass / http:/portal.tech.everett.it:7777/
ProxyPassReverse / http:/portal.tech.everett.it:7777/
ProxyPreserveHost On
ORACLE SSO
http:/portal.mycompany.com:7777
Here are the steps i already do:
1- CONFIG OID
create an ldif file called setdasurl.ldif and insert as follow:
dn:cn=OperationURLs,cn=DAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext
changetype: modify
replace: orcldasurlbase
orcldasurlbase: http:/proxy.mycompany.com/
then do ldapmodify as follow:
ldapmodify -x -h portal.mycompany.com -p 3060 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w password1 -v -f setdasurl.ldif
2- CONFIG ORA SSO (as gentjan user)
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/gentjan/product/10.1.2/OracleAS/infra/
2.1-config Apache config of ORA SSO
vi $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf
change from:
ServerName portal.mycompany.com
Port 7777
KeepAlive On
to:
ServerName proxy.mycompany.com
Port 80
KeepAlive Off
and add at the end of httpd.conf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
2.2- update DCM Repository (as root)
*$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct HTTP_Server -v -d*
2.3- modify SSO Server Home URL to reverse proxy hostname and port (as root)
*$ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh http proxy.mycompany.com 80*
2.4- Updating the targets.xml File
Open the ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml file and locate the target type oracle_sso_server.
vi $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml
Update the HTTPMachine and HTTPPort attributes with the proxy server host and port attributes that were passed to ssocfg. For example:
Property NAME="HTTPMachine" VALUE="proxy.mycompany.com"
Property NAME="HTTPPort" VALUE="80"
Property NAME="HTTPProtocol" VALUE="http"
Save and close the file.
Reload the Application Server Control Console by issuing this command (as gentjan):
*$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl reload*
2.5- Re-register mod_osso on SSO Middle-tier with reverse proxy hostname and port
some needed permissions
chmod -R 775 /home/gentjan/product/10.1.2/OracleAS/infra/dcm/
Re-register mod_osso (as gentjan)
*$ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssoreg.sh -oracle_home_path /home/gentjan/product/10.1.2/OracleAS/infra -site_name infra.proxy.mycompany.com -config_mod_osso TRUE -mod_osso_url http:/proxy.mycompany.com:80 -update_mode MODIFY*
2.6- update DCM Repository (as root)
*$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct HTTP_Server -v -d*
2.7- Restart OC4J_Security and Oracle HTTP Server at Infrastructure tier
*$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server*
*$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY*
After this modifications my reverse proxy is ok.
I can access to http:/proxy.mycompany.com:80 and this redirect me to Oracle Application Server Welcome page.
If i try http:/proxy.mycompany.com/pls/orasso/orasso.home, i can view the SSO Server Home page.
The problem that i find is when i click to Login page for Oracle SSO.
I have the following error:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /pls/orasso/ORASSO.wwsec_app_priv.login on this server.
So, in other words i can't do the login/logout under reverse proxy. Anyone can help?

How to configure Oracle HTTP server

Hi, I installed APEX 3.0 in Oracle 10.2.0.2 database. I installed HTTP server from Oracle 10.2.0 database companion CD. The problem is I am not sure which conf file I need to modify as in the installation document, it only shows steps for how to configure HTTP server 9.0.3/11g/Oracle Application Server 10g. Anybody knows where to get the right doc? Thanks.

Hi,
Configure the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) from the companion CD is the same for other OHS (apart from OHS 9.x where it uses wdbsvr.app).
So just follow the install guide from
4.4 About Configuring Oracle HTTP Server
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/install.300/b32468/post_inst.htm#BHAGICFJ

How to call webservice through Oracle HTTP Server

I have cluster of three Managed Servers. They are behind a Oracle HTTP Server. I deployed a web service to the cluster. When calling web service, I got the error. The error is that the client of web service can not directly access the Managed Servers.
The error tell that it can not access http://webapp01:7003/webservice/HelloWorld?WSDL
Where webapp01 is the host name of a managed server.
Is there a way that web service return the result to HTTP Server and HTTP Server return it to web service client.

1. Before you invoke the WebServices from client program, I guess you may have already generated the webservices client jar for the WSDL that is deployed using sun jdk "wsimport" command or bea's clientgen ant task. At this time, what is the wsdl url you gave. In the generated client jar file you should see .JAVA files also. Check the Service related .java file and check the WSDL URL in that file. If it is using weblogic servers managed server host and port, then the problem you see is obvious.
2. To fix this, you re-generate the webservices client jar file again this time giving the http server host and port instead of weblogic host and port. I am hoping you already modified httpd.conf file to accept the webservice url pattern. Check the .JAVA file generated for service to see the WSDL URL that is having inside.
3. Another approach is on your client side, before you invoke any operation on WebService, you will be first getting Service object, then Port object and invoke methods on Port object. When you get Service Object, you can pass the WSDL URL as one parameter and ServiceName (QName) as second parameter. Most of time we use default constructor without any parameters to get Service object. But you can use other constructor and pass 2 parameters. The WSDL URL will have HttpServers host and port, and rest of the url for wsdl will be the same.
In our env, we have similar requirment. SOAP BPEL Process WebServices are deployed on WLS 10.3.1 on a Cluster with 2 ManagedServers. We have Apache Proxy in front of this Cluster. All our WSDL requests goes to Apache host and port + wsdl url. This inturn goes to one of the managed servers at a time in round-robin. This is working. In httpd.conf we gave "MatchExpression / " so that any request from apache will go to cluster.
