TLS dan transport for Apache HTTP Server

high5 checks

TLS protects credentials and session cookies in transit. A valid chain, a modern protocol and no downgrade path are the baseline.

What Apache HTTP Server must have

  • Certificate chain validates against public trust stores
  • Expiry monitored automatically, no manual renewal
  • TLS 1.2 and 1.3 only; 1.0 and 1.1 disabled
  • HTTP redirects to HTTPS with a permanent redirect
  • No mixed content on any page

How to fix it

  1. 1Enable auto-renewal with your host or CDN and alert at 21 days remaining
  2. 2Force HTTPS at the edge and remove any route that serves plain HTTP

Apache HTTP Server context

Long-standing web server and reverse proxy with a module ecosystem.

Disable autoindex, restrict /server-status, and keep mod_proxy/mod_cgi patched (CVE-2024-38476).
