Fix Recommendation

Configure the "http.conf" file to include restrictions.

Example:

<RequireAll>
Require not ip 192.168.205
Require not host phishers.example.com
</RequireAll>

Check Contents

If external controls such as host-based firewalls are used to restrict this access, this check is Not Applicable.

Determine the location of the "HTTPD_ROOT" directory and the "httpd.conf" file:

# httpd -V | egrep -i 'httpd_root|server_config_file'
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

Search for the "RequireAll" directive:

# cat /<path_to_file>/httpd.conf | grep -i "RequireAll"

If "RequireAll" is not configured or IP ranges configured to allow are not restrictive enough to prevent connections from nonsecure zones, this is a finding.
