Regarding the oracle HTTP server

Hi experts....
Please help me with this issue.
we have a internet facing APEX application.
For that application i have
i) session state protestion enabled
ii) application is in "https"
iii) Proxy server which allows only the requests with that application no (app id)
I am not familiar how the sys admin confirgured ii and iii.
As a APEX developer from my end,i just enabled the session state protection for that application.
We have "Mc afee" secure scan for all the internet facing applications what we have in our org.
For that APEX based application we are getting some "security alerts" that tells to disable
the "PUT,DELETE methods"
Description:
The PUT method allows an attacker to upload arbitrary web pages on the server.
If the server is configured to support scripts like ASP or PHP, it will allow the attacker to execute code
with the privileges of the web server. The DELETE method allows an attacker to delete arbitrary content
from the web server.solution:
Disable the PUT and/or DELETE method in the web server configuration.After doing some search won how to diable the put and delete methods?
we made the following changes in httpd.conf file
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    <Limit PUT DELETE TRACE>
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
    </Limit>
</Directory>
Does this config change affect anything in the APEX application?
what other measures should anyone need to take for any Internet facing APEX application?
Thanks

Hi varad...
Thanks for the reply...
I am able to find where the "access log files" exits in the web server and found that there are "several" access log files exists for each day.
Do i need to check all the "access log" files? or is there any command for it?
Does the following config changes disables the PUT and DELETE methods?
and Does this changes affect any other functionality of existing applications on prod?
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    <Limit PUT DELETE TRACE>
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
    </Limit>
</Directory>Please let me know about the config changes that i am doing.
Thanks in advance

  • Can you run Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and Oracle HTTP Server at the same time

    Hi,
    I know this will sound a bit odd but their is a business case for asking this. Can you run APEX via the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and the Oracle HTTP Server at the same time? Would their be any security/stability/etc issues I'd need to worry about? I know that I'll need to run them on different ports.
    Thank you,
    Martin Giffy D'Souza
    [http://apex-smb.blogspot.com/]

    I think I've done this in the past. Theres no technical reason why you can't do this as far as I know.
    I can't remember if I used different ports or same port.

  • 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

  • Installation of the VeriSign digital certification in Oracle HTTP Server

    I am not obtaining to generate to the pair of keys and the CSR in Oracle HTTP Server, will have some tip I is thankful.
    Thanks
    Leandro

    Hi Leandro,
    Here are some steps to setup digital certificates into Oracle HTTP Server for Unix.
    1. The temporary working directory is /u01/tmp/myssl.
    2. The contents of <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/open_ssl/bin have been copied to the
    temporary working directory created in Assumption #1.
    3. SSL file names are priv.key (private key), certreq.csr (certificate request),
    and cert.crt (SSL certificate). The actual SSL certificate file could be
    named other than 'cert.crt'.
    4. By default, SSL is configured using port 443, which requires ROOT access to
    start the web listener.
    If you want to change this from the default port, you will need to change
    the following two parameters in the httpd.conf file to an unused port number:
    Listen 443
    <VirtualHost default:443>
    5. All necessary UNIX environment variables are set correctly for your Oracle
    product before implementing these procedures.
    6. User must be familiar with UNIX concepts like shell navigation, UNIX
    environments, file manipulation/search, file copy/backups, etc.
    How to Request and Configure an SSL Certificate for Oracle9i Application Server
    Step-by-Step Instructions:
    1. Change your present working directory to the temporary working directory, e.g.,
    /u01/tmp/myssl. Ensure the contents of <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/open_ssl/bin have
    been copied into this temporary working directory.
    2. Copy 5 large files, each at least 250KB, into your temporary working directory.
    Suggest looking in any /bin directory for large sized binary files. Execute
    the following command to generate the random character file:
         % openssl md5 * > rand.rnd
    3. Execute the following command to generate the private key (priv.key):
    % openssl genrsa -rand rand.rnd -des3 1024 > priv.key
         - when prompted, enter a "PEM pass phrase" password
         - re-enter password when prompted to verify password
         -- remember the pass phrase password you entered
         - this command generates the priv.key file and associated pass phrase
         - set permissions on the priv.key file to prevent unauthorized editing
         % chmod 400 priv.key
         - backup the priv.key file to a secure location
    NOTE
    The PEM pass phrase must be at least 4 characters in length. Remember this
    pass phrase, you will be prompted to enter it in the next step and each
    time you start up the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) in SSL mode.
    Optionally, you can unencrypt the value of the private key, so that you
    will not be prompted for the PEM pass phrase every time you start up OHS
    in SSL mode.
    To unencrypt the private key, execute the following two commands (Note:
    ensure file permissions set to r+w):
         % cp priv.key priv.key.bak
         % openssl rsa -in priv.key.bak -out priv.key
    - the demo certificate shipped with Oracle9iAS does not require a pass
    phrase to start OHS in SSL mode.
    - on UNIX, to generate the certificate request and start OHS in SSL mode,
    the pass phrase must be entered, unless you executed the above steps
    to unencrypt.
    - on Windows NT/2000, if a certificate is used that has a pass phrase,
    the OHS will hang; therefore, on Windows NT/2000, you must execute
    the steps to unencrypt.
    4. Execute the following command to generate an SSL certificate request
    (certreq.csr) based on your private key.
         % openssl req -new -key priv.key -out certreq.csr -config openssl.cnf
         - when prompted, enter the "PEM pass phrase" set when the private key
    was created.
         - when prompted, enter the requested fields that make up the
    Distinguished Name.
         -- each entry must be valid information, i.e., email, state, location, etc.
         - when prompted for the "Common Name", you MUST enter the fully
    qualified name which will be accessed via client browsers; e.g.,
    if clients will use:
    https://mysite.domain.com
         -- then, you must enter mysite.domain.com as the "Common Name"
         - the requested 'extra' attributes, i.e., "challenge password" and
    "optional company name", are OPTIONAL; just hit ENTER to use NULL values.
    5. You should now have the private key and certificate request files (priv.key
    and certreq.csr) in your temporary working directory.
    NOTE
    At this point, you can use your certificate request file 'certreq.csr' to
    order a valid SSL certificate from any CA-vendor, e.g., Verisign.
    After you receive your SSL certificate, skip to Step #6 for instructions
    on how to deploy your SSL files.
    OPTIONAL
    You can start 9iAS in SSL mode (see Step #12) and test the pre-installed demo
    certificate and private key included for testing purposes.
    It is a good idea to test to be sure the Oracle HTTP Server SSL mode works
    successfully before deploying your new SSL certificate. To try these demo
    files, access the 9iAS index page in a browser using the HTTPS protocol and
    the appropriate SSL Listen port. URL format:
    https://myhost.domain.com:<ssl_port>
    The user will see a Security Alert (IE), or New Site Certificate (Netscape)
    warning message, click Continue/Next to accept.
    OPTIONAL
    To create a self-signed certificate, execute the following commands:
    (csh) % setenv RANDFILE rand.rnd
    <sh or ksh> % export RANDFILE=rand.rnd
    % openssl x509 -req -days 30 -in certreq.csr -signkey priv.key > tempcert.crt
    - when prompted, enter the "PEM pass phrase" set when the private key was created.
    - this command generates a temporary self-signed certificate file 'tempcert.crt'
    valid for 30 days, which can be used while awaiting a valid SSL certificate
    purchased from an authorized CA-vendor.
    - if this option is used, after generating the 'tempcert.crt' file, skip to
    Step #6 for instructions on how to deploy your SSL files.
    OPTIONAL
    These steps are specifically for requesting a TRIAL certificate from the
    CA-vendor Verisign.
    - Go to www.verisign.com and click on "Free Guides and Trials" link and
    follow instructions to request a "Free Trial SSL ID". During this process,
    you will be asked to provide certificate request information.
    - Open the 'certreq.csr' file using your text editor of choice.
    - Starting with "-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" copy all lines
    including the BEGIN and END of certificate lines.
    - Paste this copied data into the Verisign page where requested and continue.
    - You will see the Verisign web site decode your certificate request
    information. This decoded information is presented to you to verify it is
    correct. If it is, then continue with the process.
    - You will be presented with another set of questions from Verisign. Be sure
    to answer with the correct email address, as this address will be used to
    send your SSL certificate.
    - After you answer all these questions, you will be sent a TRIAL 14-day
    SSL certificate via email.
    - WARNING! You must follow this step carefully, you cannot copy and paste
    information from an email to a new text file. After you get your TRIAL
    certificate, save the entire email message to a text file. Open this file
    using your text editor of choice. You will see the email address header
    information and the line:
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    - Delete all text that appears before the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- line.
    The modified file should contain only certificate information. After you
    delete the email header, save this text file inside your temporary directory
    with the filename 'trialcert.crt'.
    6. Now you are ready to configure Oracle9i Application Server (9iAS) with your
    SSL certificate files.
    7. Back up your existing <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file.
    8. Open the httpd.conf file with your text editor of choice.
    9. Edit the following httpd.conf directives to use your generated private key
    and SSL certificate file, which could be the filename for either the
    temporary self-signed certificate, the TRIAL test certificate, or the
    purchased valid certificate. The information following the # symbol are
    comments.
    NOTE
    The directory of the SSL files (private key and certificate file)
    can reside in any location you choose. The temporary working
    directory will continue to be referenced in these procedure steps.
    # use the appropriate (i.e., valid, temporary, or trial) certificate filename
    SSLCertificateFile /u01/tmp/myssl/tempcert.crt
    #private key from Step #4 above:
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /u01/tmp/myssl/priv.key
    10. Save your modified httpd.conf and exit the text editor.
    11. Log in as authorized user (if default ports 80 and 443 are used, ROOT user
    must execute commands in next step).
    12. Execute the following command to stop, then start Apache in SSL mode
    (ensure proper UNIX environments are set; else, execute command from
    <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/Apache/bin.)
    For Oracle8iAS 1.x:
    % httpdsctl stop
    % httpdsctl startssl
    For Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.x:
    % apachectl stop
    % apachectl startssl
    - when prompted, enter the "pass phrase" created in Step #3.
    -- not required if you unencrypted the private key file
    - when the Oracle HTTP Server starts successfully in SSL mode, access the
    9iAS index page in a browser using the HTTPS protocol and the appropriate
    SSL Listen port. URL format:
    https://myhost.domain.com:<ssl_port>
    - if using a temporary self-signed or TRIAL test certificate, the user will
    see a Security Alert (IE), or New Site Certificate (Netscape) warning message,
    click Continue/Next to accept.

  • 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

  • Web Service and Oracle HTTP Server

    I have a web environment with Oracle Database 10.2.0.3 , oracle http server (using mod_plsql), Oracle pl/sql web toolkit. I need to create a web service that is accessed externally which will interact with the database (select, insert, delete). Is it possible to publish a web service to the Oracle Http Server or to implement web services with the environment above

    Hello,
    In RDBMS 10g you cannot directly expose WS from the DB you need to use the OracleAS Web Service Runtime to do it, following this documentation:
    - Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
    This is true if we are talking about "tooling/runtime/API" but after all Web Services are mainly XML (WSDL and SOAP) so it is still possible to create by hands (PL/SQL & static files) but it is probably a long work depending of the complexity of your services.
    Also, in RDBMS 11, you can now directly expose WS from the DB using the embedded HTTP server, see this Oracle 11g New Features Document
    Note that before taking one approach you must take time to write up your requirement regarding Web Services eg: do I need security, which time of encoding, interoperability, ..., ... For example WS-Security that is the standard to secure SOAP messages is not (yet) supported by the Oracle 11g RDBMS Native Web Services... where when you do use the WS-Runtime you can secure the Web Service..

  • APEX and Oracle HTTP server

    Scenario
    We are considering using APEX with Oracle 10g. However, we don't have Oracle application server.At the same time we do not want to use the Oracle HTTP server(OHS) on the database server. The propsed application intend to use by approx. 5000 users
    Questions
    As APEX requires just OHS and mod_plsql plugin,
    1. Can we install just Oracle HTTP server and mod_plsql on standalone server? Which CD need to be used?
    2. Can OHS can be licensed separately as Oracle Internet application server(Enterprise Edition) based on processor licensing is expensive and not affordable.However, there are other options like Standard Edition and Standard Edition One as well but do not require any other options except OHS and mod_plsql plugin.Hence, what is the cost effective option to have OHS and mod_plsql as a middle tier component to deploy APEX applications
    Thanks in advance

    All,
    I'm by no means a security expert, but I don't think this is a best practice. I think the best practice is to use two HTTP servers: one in the DMZ and one on the DB server. The one in the DMZ can be a standard Apache install - it acts as a proxy server and does not need mod_plsql. The second should be OHS. This configuration allows you to block ports that are usually used to communicate with the DB from the server in the DMZ.
    Did I get that right or am I way off?

  • Down Time for  Installing APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server?

    Hi, all:
    I plan to install APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server on 10.2.0.4 database.
    Is there any down time required during installation?
    I mean during installation, do I need to block users from accessing the database?
    Can they do their normal data entry / inquiry?
    thanks,
    John
    ps. There will be server backup before installation.

    Hi,
    Documentation says
    >
    3.1 Recommended Pre-installation Tasks
    Before installing Oracle Application Express, Oracle recommends that you complete the following steps:
    Review and satisfy all Oracle Application Express installation requirements. See "Oracle Application Express Installation Requirements".
    Shut down with normal or immediate priority the Oracle Database instances where you plan to install Oracle Application Express. On Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) systems, shut down all instances on each node.
    An alternative to shutting down the database is to prevent all users from accessing Oracle Application Express when upgrading your installation from a previous release of Oracle Application Express. Oracle only recommends this option in high availability production environments where planned outages are not available. For all other scenarios, the database should be shut down.
    To disable access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Application Express Listener, shut down the appropriate application server where the Application Express listener is deployed.
    To disable user access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql, you should either shut down the Web server or disable the Application Express Database Access Descriptor of the Web server.
    For an existing installation using the embedded PL/SQL gateway, you should disable the Oracle XML DB Protocol Server by setting the HTTP port to 0. This can be accomplished by starting SQL*Plus, connecting as SYS to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and running:
    EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0);
    Once you have prevented access from Oracle Application Express users, you should log into SQL*Plus as SYS, connecting to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and query V$SESSION to ensure there are no long running sessions which would interfere with the upgrade process.
    Back up the Oracle Database installation.
    Oracle recommends that you create a backup of the current Oracle Database installation before you install Oracle Application Express. You can use Oracle Database Recovery Manager, which is included in the Oracle Database installation, to perform the backup.

    Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide
    Start the Oracle Database instance that contains the target database.
    After backing up the system, you must start the Oracle instance that contains the target Oracle database. Do not start other processes such as a Web Listener. However, if you are performing a remote installation, make sure the database listener for the remote database has started.

  • To install Oracle HTTP Server only

    Hi,
    I already installed Apex (3.0) in an Oracle database a while ago. I have used our Oracle iAS 10.1.2 as the application server. Now, I would like to install the Oracle HTTP Server in the database server and use it to run Apex. With the 10g companion CD, there is not any option to install the Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 1.3) only. Is there any way that I can install the Oracle HTTP Server only without installing Apex again? Where can I download it?
    Also, I heard that there is a version of Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2) bundled with Oracle 11g. Can I use it for Apex 3.0?
    Thanks.
    Andy

    Hi,
    See:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html
    Here you have the option, to install HTTP only
    Kind regards,
    Iloon
    PS: be aware this cd contains apex 1.6 ;-)

  • APEX without Oracle HTTP Server 10gR2

    Guys,
    I know that you can run APEX in Oracle XE without requiring to install an HTTP server.
    But I have heard that the same is now true if you are using Oracle 10gR2.
    Is this the case and if it is can you answer the following questions :
    a) How is it done ?
    b) How is it configured ?
    c) Is this the way forward for APEX or do you still see the need for the HTTP Server ?
    d) How would you migrate from an APEX application developed and deployed using an HTTP Server to one which does not ?
    Any answers would be very helpful as I have a client who is extremely reluctant to install the Oracle HTTP server and I think that if you could use one which is within the database then that may win them over to APEX development.
    Regards
    Chris

    Search the Oracle XE forum for dbms_xdb and dbms_epg, however, I don't know if it's possible to do what you want. You may need to run XE.

  • Administration of Oracle HTTP Server in Application Server 10.1.3.1

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to administer the Oracle HTTP Server from the Application Server Control not directly from the configuration files in Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.
    I have followed the instructions given but the link for the HTTP Server is not activated and can't be clicked in the System Components table in Oracle Application Server Control page.
    In the instructions given by the Oracle HTTP Server Admin guide was mentioned an user : ias_admin. But I haven't found it. All the users listed are oc4jadmin and something like JRAadmin.
    Can anyone tell me how to proceed to make possible HTTP Server Administration, Configuration and Mainteinance directly from the Application Server Control in Enterprise Manager.
    Best regards

    Hi
    First of all, I am using the application server right now. I have deployed there a Java Web Service.
    In the directory that you specified it wasn't something like setupinfo.tx but readme.txt the contents of which I am pasting below
    ////////Readme.txt////////////////
    The installation of Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.1.0 was successful.
    These instructions are located in D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\install\readme.txt for your future reference.
    You can view the status of the server with the following command:
    D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\opmn\bin\opmnctl status
    Access the Welcome Page with the following URL:
    http://server:8888/
    Access the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control via the following URL:
    http://server:8888/em
    Installation Details:
    Installation Directory: D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1
    Installation Type: J2EE Server and Web Server
    Installed Components: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J), and Oracle Process Manager & Notification Server (OPMN)
    Instance Name: as10gamf2.server
    Administrator Username: oc4jadmin
    The log file containing the details of Configuration Asistants is located in D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\cfgtoollogs
    \\\\ End of Readme.txt \\\\\\\\\\\
    i have tried before the opmnctl status command and it says that the HTTP_Server and the OC4JGroup are alive. Only ASG is down. This is by default in all iAS installations I have done.
    Best Regards
