Update tomcat (recommended)

Versions below 8 contain vulnerbilities

Secure SSL ciphers (recommended)

Change the HTTP connector please use the following ciphers (<tomcat>\conf\server.xml)

 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

List updated: 2018-02-07

Secure headers (recommended)

In the SERVER web.xml (<tomcat>\conf\web.xml) uncomment the following sections

 <filter>
   <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name>
   <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.HttpHeaderSecurityFilter</filter-class>
   <async-supported>true</async-supported>
   <init-param>
      <param-name>antiClickJackingOption</param-name>
      <param-value>SAMEORIGIN</param-value>
   </init-param>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
   <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>

Additional CRSF filtering (optional)

The TS platform is allrady safe from CRSF attacks. CRSF tokens are generated at login and required for all data altering transactions.

The TS implemetation does not use rotating or pagespecific CRSF tokens, so if additional security is needed use the OWASP implementation.

Additional security filters (optional)

Tempus Serva comes with multiple additional security features

  • Lock user session to IP
  • Lock service to listed countries
  • Use passcode sent by SMS

The filters are activated by uncommenting the code in the applications /WEB-INF/web.xml.

Note that the filters can be set any part of the application: login, designer, webiterface and rest.

Validating your site

You can use the following services to check the security of your intsallation

Test SSL
