Hi

In a security audit it was picked up that the http trace method was enabled on 
our 389 server for port 9830 which is the port the admin console uses. I have 
done a check on how to disable this method for a http server and they suggested 
editing the httpd.conf and adding TraceEnable = off or on older versions 
something like this on the httpd.conf file.

 LoadModule  rewrite_module  "/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so"

Then add the following as well to your httpd.conf file:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
    RewriteRule .* - [F]

the file I used to edit these changes was /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/httpd.conf

Neither of these methods disabled the trace method.  Any ideas?
