Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The Apache web server must be configured to use a specified IP address and port.
The web server must be configured to listen on a specified IP address and port. Without specifying an IP address and port for the web server to use, the web server will listen on all IP addresses a...Rule Medium Severity -
The Apache web server must encrypt passwords during transmission.
Data used to authenticate, especially passwords, needs to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting authentication data during transmission. Data used to authe...Rule Medium Severity -
Apache web server accounts accessing the directory tree, the shell, or other operating system functions and utilities must only be administrative accounts.
As a rule, accounts on a web server are to be kept to a minimum. Only administrators, web managers, developers, auditors, and web authors require accounts on the machine hosting the web server. The...Rule Medium Severity -
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 -
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 unique session identifiers with definable entropy.
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 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 -
Debugging and trace information used to diagnose the Apache web server must be disabled.
Information needed by an attacker to begin looking for possible vulnerabilities in a web server includes any information about the web server and plug-ins or modules being used. When debugging or t...Rule Medium Severity -
The Apache web server must set an inactive timeout for completing the TLS handshake
Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. Tim...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.
