The Apache web server must separate the hosted applications from hosted Apache web server management functionality.

The Apache web server must invalidate session identifiers upon hosted application user logout or other session termination.
Captured sessions can be reused in "replay" attacks. This requirement limits the ability of adversaries from capturing and continuing to employ previously valid session IDs. Session IDs are tokens...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
Cookies exchanged between the Apache web server and client, such as session cookies, must have security settings that disallow cookie access outside the originating Apache web server and hosted application.
Cookies are used to exchange data between the web server and the client. Cookies, such as a session cookie, may contain session information and user credentials used to maintain a persistent connec...Rule Medium Severity -

The Apache web server must accept only system-generated session identifiers.
Communication between a client and the web server is done using the HTTP protocol, but HTTP is a stateless protocol. To maintain a connection or session, a web server will generate a session identi...Rule Medium Severity -

The Apache web server must generate a session ID using as much of the character set as possible to reduce the risk of brute force.
Generating a session identifier (ID) that is not easily guessed through brute force is essential to deter several types of session attacks. By knowing the session ID, an attacker can hijack a user ...Rule Medium Severity -

The Apache web server must augment re-creation to a stable and known baseline.
Making certain that the web server has not been updated by an unauthorized user is always a concern. Adding patches, functions, and modules that are untested and not part of the baseline opens the ...Rule Medium Severity -

The Apache web server must be configured to provide clustering.
The web server may host applications that display information that cannot be disrupted, such as information that is time critical or life threatening. In these cases, a web server that shuts down o...Rule Medium Severity -

The Apache web server document directory must be in a separate partition from the Apache web servers system files.
A web server is used to deliver content on the request of a client. The content delivered to a client must be controlled, allowing only hosted application files to be accessed and delivered. To all...Rule Medium Severity -

Warning and error messages displayed to clients must be modified to minimize the identity of the Apache web server, patches, loaded modules, and directory paths.
Information needed by an attacker to begin looking for possible vulnerabilities in a web server includes any information about the web server, backend systems being accessed, and plug-ins or module...Rule Medium Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
