For the Considerations in adopting RHEL 10 Document
For the httpd package, the following list describes changes which can affect how the httpd daemon is used and deployed.
- Default configuration changes: the `mod_authnz_fcgi` package is now loaded by default. This module can be used with FastCGI-based authorizer applications to authenticate users. See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authnz_fcgi.html for more information
- systemd service configuration changes: the `httpd.service` unit file applies a number of security hardening settings by default which were not enabled in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. For example, the `ProtectHome=read-only` setting is applied which mounts the `/home` filesystem read-only for the httpd service. See `/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service` for the full list of hardening settings used.
- mod_ssl: OpenSSL "ENGINE" support is removed. The `SSLCryptoDevice` configuration directive must no longer be used. PKCS#11 URIs are still supported via the OpenSSL `pkcs11-provider` package
- Support for Berkeley DB databases has been dropped since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. The default database type now used by modules such as `mod_authz_dbm` is LMDB; the SDBM database type remains available as an alternative.
