So I need to make sure that the url-path is set to the file path from a httpd.conf file directive path.



So I have a stig and It states If the directive uses a URL-path name that is different than the actual file system path, the potential exists to expose the script source code.



The path in the conf file is shown through the ScriptAlias directive:



ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"


So theres a /cgi-bin/ and then there is a "/var/www/cgi-bin/"



How would I set the url-path to the file path or directory path?



I was thinking maybe theres a bash script that can extract both the /cgi-bin/ and the "/var/www/cgi-bin/" and set them equal to ensure that the url-path is set to the file or directory path.



Or is there another way of doing this through shell or ansible?






bash shell apache-httpd ansible

    I'm not quite sure what it is you're talking about. What URL path and what file path? The ScriptAlias directive says that when a client accesses something as /cgi-bin/, the server will access the corresponding CGI program under its /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
