Features and Enhancements in 7.0 Update 8

Web Server 7.0 Update 8 contains the following fixes for security vulnerabilities:

Bug 6916389 describes the buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the WebDAV extensions to Sun Java System Web Server. These issues may allow remote clients to trigger a Web Server crash, thus resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. These issues may also allow remote unauthorized users to gain elevated privileges, enabling them to access and modify sensitive files.

Bug 6916390 describes the format string vulnerabilities in the WebDAV extensions to Sun Java System Web Server. These issues may allow remote clients to trigger a Web Server crash, thus resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. These issues may also allow remote unauthorized users to gain elevated privileges, enabling them to access and modify sensitive files.

Bug 6916391 describes the buffer overflow issues in the Digest Authentication methods in Sun Java System Web Server, which may allow remote unprivileged users to crash the Web Server, thus leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. These issues may also lead to execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Bug 6916392 describes the heap overflow issues in the HTTP TRACE functionality in Sun Java System Web Server, which may allow remote unprivileged users to crash the Web Server, thus leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. These issues may also be exploited to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Features and Enhancements in 7.0 Update 7

Web Server 7.0 Update 7 introduces Kerberos/SPNEGO support. This release introduces a new ACL authentication method called gssapi. The gssapi authentication method works with a Kerberos user repository. This release also introduces a suitable auth-db of type kerberos for use with the gssapi authentication method.

For more information on configuring a Kerberos authentication, see Working With the Authentication Database in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide

Note –

Kerberos enabled Web Server on Solaris are tested with clients such as IE on Windows 2003 and Firefox on RHEL 5.3.

Web Server 7.0 Update 7 supports Windows 2008 SP2 32 bit (x86) Enterprise Edition.

Web Server 7.0 Update 7 is bundled with JDK 6. There is an improvement in the performance in admin server.

Web Server 7.0 Update 7 is integrated with new Xerces C++ patch which fixes the vulnerability. For more information, see http://www.cert.fi/en/reports/2009/vulnerability2009085.html.

Note –

Web Server 7.0 Update 7 resolves a regression in LDAP authentication (6888100) accidentally introduced in Update 6. All customers using LDAP authentication are encouraged to upgrade to Update 7.

Deprecated Platforms

Note –

Platforms, Solaris 8 and Windows 2000 are deprecated. They will not be supported from Web Server 7.0 Update 9 onwards.

SSL/TLS Vulnerability Fix (CVE-2009-3555)

Web Server 7.0 Update 7 is upgraded to include NSS 3.12.5 which provides relief for the SSL/TLS renegotiation vulnerability: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2009-3555

This vulnerability is a flaw in the current SSL/TLS renegotiation protocol definition. It is not a bug in the Web Server implementation. Due to this reason, there is no implementation-level fix for this vulnerability. The only workaround is to disable renegotiation entirely in order to protect the Web Server from attack.

Therefore, Web Server 7.0 Update 7 disables all use of SSL/TLS renegotiation. If either the client or the Web Server attempt to trigger renegotiation on an existing SSL/TLS session, the connection will fail.

Typically renegotiation was used to obtain a client certificate sometime after the SSL/TLS connection was first established. Web applications which attempt to obtain a client certificate in this fashion will now fail.

Obtaining a client certificate during the initial connection handshake will continue to work correctly. This mode can be configured by setting the client-auth element to 'required' in server.xml:


<http-listener>
   <ssl>
      <client-auth>required</client-auth>
   </ssl>
</http-listener>

A future update of Web Server 7 will implement a safe renegotiation protocol as soon as the IETF finalizes the design of the new protocol enhancement. It is possible to re-enable the vulnerable SSL/TLS renegotiation capability by setting the environment variable: NSS_SSL_ENABLE_RENEGOTIATION=1. This mode is known to be vulnerable to attack as described in CVE-2009-3555.

Java SE 5.0 and 6.0 Support

Web Server supports the 32–bit version of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 5.0 and Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 6. For the 64-bit version of Web Server, the 64–bit version of Java Development Kit (JDK) software support is available.

JDK 6.0 Update 17 is delivered on Solaris, Linux and Windows as part of Web Server 7.0 Update 8 release.

PKCS11 Bypass Support

This Web Server update release introduces an option to instruct NSS to bypass the PKCS#11 layer during parts of the SSL/TLS processing. Bypassing the PKCS#11 layer improves performance. By default, the PKCS#11 layer is bypassed. At the time of server startup, the server queries each token holding a server key to verify that each token can support PKCS#11 bypass. If any of the tokens cannot support bypass, bypass is disabled. Therefore, no user action is required to take advantage of the performance benefits of the PKCS#11 bypass. The server automatically takes advantage of the bypass and automatically disables the bypass if the token cannot be used given the current configuration. For more information, see Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Configuration File Reference.

Web Server provides Command Line Interface (CLI) and Admin Console support to enable or disable the bypass. For more information about how to enable or disable PKCS11 bypass using the Admin Console or the CLI, see To Enable and Bypass PKCS#11 Tokens in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Service Management Facility (SMF) Support

This Web Server update release integrates with the Solaris 10 Service Management Facility (SMF) for the Java platform . SMF is a new feature of the Solaris Operating System that creates a supported, unified model for services and service management on each Solaris system. It is a mechanism to define, deliver, and manage long-running application services for Solaris. A service is defined by a service manifest, an XML file which describes a service and any instances associated with that service.

For more information about SMF support in Web Server, see the Integrating Service Management Facility for the Java Platform with Web Server in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Asynchronous Accelerator Cache Support

This release of Web Server supports processing of requests that can be served from the accelerator cache asynchronously thereby improves the performance of the server. Value added features are:

Enhanced Web Container

This Web Server update release introduces the ability to display the exception stack trace or JSP compiler errors in a browser. In the earlier releases of Web Server, when an exception occurs in the servlet container at the request time, a "Server Error" is displayed at the client without exposing internal application details. The exception is always logged in the error log with or without this feature enabled.

Note –

Displaying exception stack trace or JSP compiler errors in a browser feature is not enabled by default. You can enable this feature through set-servlet-container-prop command or through the Display Exception checkbox in the Servlet Container tab of the Admin Console. This is useful for development purposes. It is strongly recommended not to enable this feature in production systems.

Improved Administration Experience

Administration experience is improved in this release of Web Server by introducing the following key features:

Roll Back Deployed Configuration Support

Web Server supports rolling back of deployed configuration. Web Server administration now enables administrators to take backups automatically on every deployed configuration. Using the administration CLI, it is possible to list backups and restore a specified backup.

Support To Set Administration Server Password

This release of Web Server enables you to reset the administration server's user password. However, this functionality works only locally on the administration server's node.

Support for Managing CA Certificates

Administration Console enables you to install, delete, filter CA certificates, Cert chain, and the CRLs. Additionally, the server also warns the users about the certificates that are about to expire.

For information about the administration features, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Red Hat 4.0 64-bit Support

Support for a 64-bit standalone version of Web Server is provided in this release.

The administration CLI has the following key features:

For more information on the commands, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 CLI Reference Manual.

Sun N1 Service Provisioning System Support

Web Server is integrated with Sun N1 Service Provisioning Server 5.2. Sun N1 Service Provisioning System is an application provisioning tool that eliminates the need for custom scripts. With the integration of Web Server with Sun N1 Service Provisioning System, as an administrator, you do not need to write custom scripts for installing multiple Web Servers in a datacenter environment or in a server farm.

Consolidated Configuration Files

Configuration files in Web Server are rearranged and consolidated to simplify administration.

In the earlier versions of Web Server, the configuration files in userdb were shared by all instances, while the information contained in these files was often instance-specific. In Web Server 7.0, configuration files from the userdb directory are removed. Their functionality is incorporated into the server.xml file in the config directory. Configuration files from the alias and httpacl directories are moved into the config directory. These changes consolidate instance-specific configuration information within the instance-specific config directory.

For information about the configuration files, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Configuration File Reference.

JNDI Support

The Java Naming and Directory Interface (J.N.D.I.) API provides seamless connectivity to heterogeneous enterprise naming and directory services.

Java Database Connectivity and Connection Pooling Support

Web Server provides out-of-the-box, seamless Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC), technology and supports a wide range of industry-standard and customized JDBC drivers.

Web Server supports JDBC connection pooling, that is, a group of reusable connections for a particular database. Because creating each new connection is time consuming, the server maintains a pool of available connections to increase performance. When an application requests a connection, it obtains a connection from the pool. When an application closes a connection, the connection is returned to the pool.

For information on creating JDBC connection pools, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Enhanced Hardware Accelerator Encryption Support

Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 provides hardware accelerator support for Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 and 6000 boards, which enhance the performance of SSL on web server.

Note –

Initialize the Sun Crypto Accelerator card when using with web server. For more information about Sun Crypto Accelerator, see Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 Board Version 1.1 User's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4144-11/.

Integrated Java Web Services Developer Pack 2.0 Technologies

Web Server includes Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) 2.0 and XML technologies. Web services developed by using Java WSDP can be deployed on Web Server as a web application by using the wadm command.

Web Server 7.0 provides support for security features such as XML Encryption, XML Digital Signature, and support for message security provider.

For more information on Java WSDP 2.0, see the following resource:

http://java.sun.com/webservices/jwsdp/index.jsp

Java WSDP 2.0 samples are located at the following location. These samples can be deployed on Web Server 7.0.

http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/2.0_preview_webservicespack.html

Lightweight Session Replication Support

Web Server supports cluster-based session replication and failover. Session replication and failover provides high availability to web applications by replicating HTTP sessions from one server instance to another in the same server cluster. Because each HTTP session has a backup copy on a remote instance, a server failure that renders one instance in the cluster unavailable does not disturb session continuity.

For more information on Light Weight Session Replication support, Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

URL Redirection and Rewriting with Regular Expressions

Web Server 7.0 introduces enhanced support for regular expressions and conditional processing in the obj.conf configuration file.

Key enhancements include the following:

You can use these new features to define flexible URL rewriting and redirection rules such as those possible with mod_rewrite from the Apache HTTP server. Unlike mod_rewrite, regular expressions and conditional processing in Web Server 7.0 can be used at any stage of request processing, even with third-party plug-ins.

For more information on regular expressions and URL rewrite functions, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Configuration File Reference.

Extensive Real-Time Monitoring Support

In addition to the monitoring facilities in earlier versions of Web Server, Web Server adds the following enhancements:

For more information on Monitoring feature in Web Server, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Integrated Reverse Proxy

Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 integrates the reverse proxy functionality within the core server.

When web server is configured with reverse proxy functionality, it acts as a proxy for one or more backend servers and serves as a single point of access or gateway in a server farm. In a reverse proxy setup, the web server forwards the HTTP request it received from the browser client to the appropriate backend server. The HTML response from the backend server is sent back to the browser through the web server. Thus, the web server with reverse proxy hides the existence of backend servers to the browser.

Web Server provides GUI and CLI support for configuring the reverse proxy.

For information about configuring reverse proxy, see Configuring Reverse Proxy in Web Server in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Enhanced Security

Web Server supports a wide variety of technologies that allow data encryption and validation, request authentication, and server process protection. Key security feature enhancements include the following:

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Support

Sun Java System Web Server has always supported RSA keys. In addition to the continued support for for RSA keys, Web Server 7.0 introduces support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

ECC is the next generation of public-key cryptography for mobile or wireless environments. ECC is based on a set of algorithms for key generation, encryption, and decryption for performing asymmetric cryptography.

For more information on how to use ECC in Web Server, see the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator’s Guide.

Oracle Java Studio Enterprise Support

Web Server 7.0 supports Oracle Java Studio Enterprise 8.1. Oracle Java Studio software is a powerful, extensible IDE for Java technology developers, based on the NetBeans software and integrated with the Java platform.

The plug-in for the Web Server can be obtained in the following ways:

Note –

Oracle Java Studio 8.1 plug-in for Web Server works only with a local web server. That is, the IDE and the web server must be installed on the same machine.
