Details of Change
• HP Apache-based Web Server v.1.3.26.00 for the Itanium Processor Family (IPF)
platform.
• RSA BSAFE Crypto C Library v.5.2.1 has U.S. Commerce approval for worldwide
export of 128-bit strong encryption.
• OpenSSL v.0.9.6c is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general
purpose cryptography library.
•The mod_ssl v.2.8.9 module is dynamically included and provides strong
cryptography using the OpenSSL toolkit and BSAFE Crypto C libraries.
• Tomcat v.3.3.1 is the servlet container used for the reference implementation for
Java Servlets 2.2 and JavaServer Pages 1.1 specifications.
• Apache JServ v.1.1.1 servlet engine is compliant with Java Servlets 2.0 and requires
the Java Servlet Development Kit (JSDK) 2.0, which you can download from:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/archive.html
• The mod_jserv module is dynamically included and used by both Tomcat and JServ
to communicate with the HP Apache-based Web Server.
• The new mod_jk connector module is recommended over mod_jserv for Apache to
Tomcat communication. The mod_jk connector can either use the original ajpv12
protocol or the newer ajpv13 protocol.
• PHP v.4.2.1 is a popular, server-side, cross-platform, HTML-embedded, full-featured
language with a Java/C++ syntax. It also supports many databases.
•The mod_perl v. 1.25 module is statically included and supports 64-bit version of
Perl v.5.6.1.
• Webmin v.0.980 is a web-based administration and configuration tool from Webmin
that has been enhanced for the HP Apache-based Web Server.
• Support for loading C++ shared libraries.
• Chroot causes a user-specified directory to become the root directory, the starting
point for path searches. A malicious user cannot get to the root file system. Our
chroot includes SSL enhancements, such as pass phrase exiting in 60 seconds and
retry limits.
• Memory Management (MM) is a 2-layer abstraction library, which simplifies the
usage of shared memory between forked (and this way strongly related) processes
under Unix platforms.
• Apache/Tomcat/Webmin can now be automatically restarted on reboot. More
information on customizing and configuring this feature can be found in the
configuration notes.
