For details on configuring an application, including the number of persistent processes created, see Apache Module mod_fcgid.
Open SSL 0.9.8r Supports SSLFIPS and SSLInsecureRenegotiation Directives
The mod_ssl directive SSLInsecureRenegotiation supports per-directory/per-server client certificate renegotiation with legacy
clients.
Users are strongly cautioned to update all clients to use only the new TLS Renegotiation mechanism.
The OpenSSL 0.9.8r build is vendor-affirmed to comply with OpenSSL FIPS Security Policy document v1.2. In order to use
the FIPS 140-2 validated mode of operation (which relies on NIST-approved, but slower algorithms) for mod_ssl cryptography,
simply add the new 'SSLFIPS on' directive. A log entry indicates whether FIPS mode is enabled. A warning that 512-byte
temporary key generation is skipped is logged at startup. This behavior is correct (512 byte keys are disallowed for FIPS use).
See Apache Module mod_ssl .
Supported Platforms
TCP/IPv6 is required on all platforms. Modern platforms have this support installed already. It is not necessary to configure IPv6
adapters; simply install the IPv6 socket support drivers and associated libraries. Vendor patch sets for compatibility with the
current release of vendor Java are recommended for all vFabric Web Server installations, because the operating system flaws that
affect sockets and multi-threaded services for Java similarly affect vFabric Web Server and its support libraries.
