Oracle HTTP Server Modules

This directive must be in the global section of the

httpd.conf

file. It cannot be

embedded into any virtual host of location container. After installation, an
OpmnHostPort

directive is located in

dms.conf

. It points OPMN to the Oracle

HTTP Server “diagnostic port”, which is a special localhost only virtual host.

You cannot combine directives using the one-argument syntax with directives using
the two-argument syntax. If you use the two-argument syntax, the default for
groups without a group-specific secret key is ’disabled’.

mod_ossl

This Oracle module enables strong cryptography for Oracle HTTP Server. It is a
plug-in to Oracle HTTP Server that enables the server to use SSL. It is very similar
to the OpenSSL module, mod_ssl. However, in contrast to the OpenSSL module,
mod_ossl

is based on the Oracle implementation of SSL, which supports SSL,

version 3, and is based on Certicom and RSA Security technology.

mod_perl

This module embeds the Perl interpreter into the Oracle HTTP Server. This
eliminates start-up overhead and enables you to write modules in Perl.

Note:

The demonstration script for this module that is shipped

with Oracle Database should be disabled in production
environments. It is included only to verify that the installation was
successful.
