Description
Discussion Text
A web server can provide many features, services, and processes. Some of these may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system.
The web server must provide the capability to disable, uninstall, or deactivate functionality and services that are deemed to be non-essential to the web server mission or can adversely impact server performance. This module provides authorization capabilities so authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions of the web site. This requirement is meant to disable an unneeded service; it is not intended to restrict the use of authorization when data access restrictions specify the use of authorization. Refer to the system security plan to determine if authorization is required based on data access requirements.
