mod_perl
Oracle HTTP Server Modules 7-15
This directive must be in the global section of the
httpd.conf
file. It cannot be
embedded into any virtual host of location container. After installation, an
OpmnHostPort
directive is located in
dms.conf
. It points OPMN to the Oracle
HTTP Server “diagnostic port”, which is a special localhost only virtual host.
You cannot combine directives using the one-argument syntax with directives using
the two-argument syntax. If you use the two-argument syntax, the default for
groups without a group-specific secret key is ’disabled’.
mod_ossl
This Oracle module enables strong cryptography for Oracle HTTP Server. It is a
plug-in to Oracle HTTP Server that enables the server to use SSL. It is very similar
to the OpenSSL module,
mod_ssl
. However, in contrast to the OpenSSL module,
mod_ossl
is based on the Oracle implementation of SSL, which supports SSL,
version 3, and is based on Certicom and RSA Security technology.
mod_perl
This module embeds the Perl interpreter into the Oracle HTTP Server. This
eliminates start-up overhead and enables you to write modules in Perl.

Note:
The demonstration script for this module that is shipped
with Oracle Database should be disabled in production
environments. It is included only to verify that the installation was
successful.
