11.5. Removing Unused Interfaces from web.xml (CA Only)

Several legacy interfaces (for features like bulk issuance or the policy framework) are still included in the CA's web.xml file. However, since these features are deprecated and no longer in use, then they can be removed from the CA configuration to increase security.

Stop the CA.
```
service pki-ca stop
```
Open the web files directory for the CA. For example:
```
cd /var/lib/pki-ca/webapps/ca/WEB-INF
```
Back up the current web.xml file.
```
cp web.xml web.xml.servlets
```

Edit the web.xml file and remove the entire <servlet> entries for each of the following deprecated servlets:

caadminEnroll
cabulkissuance
cacertbasedenrollment
caenrollment
caProxyBulkIssuance

For example, remove the caadminEnroll servlet entry:

<servlet>
      <servlet-name>  caadminEnroll  </servlet-name>
      <servlet-class> com.netscape.cms.servlet.cert.EnrollServlet 
</servlet-class>
             <init-param><param-name>  GetClientCert  </param-name>
                         <param-value> false       </param-value> </init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  successTemplate  </param-name>
                         <param-value> /admin/ca/EnrollSuccess.template
</param-value> </init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  AuthzMgr    </param-name>
                         <param-value> BasicAclAuthz </param-value>
</init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  authority   </param-name>
                         <param-value> ca          </param-value> </init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  interface   </param-name>
                         <param-value> admin          </param-value>
</init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  ID          </param-name>
                         <param-value> caadminEnroll </param-value>
</init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  resourceID  </param-name>
                         <param-value> certServer.admin.request.enrollment
</param-value> </init-param>
             <init-param><param-name>  AuthMgr     </param-name>
                         <param-value> passwdUserDBAuthMgr </param-value>
</init-param>
   </servlet>

After removing the servlet entries, remove the corresponding <servlet-mapping> entries.

<servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>  caadminEnroll  </servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>   /admin/ca/adminEnroll  </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Remove three <filter-mapping> entries for an end-entity request interface.

   <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>  EERequestFilter              </filter-name>
      <url-pattern>  /certbasedenrollment         </url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
    
   <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>  EERequestFilter              </filter-name>
      <url-pattern>  /enrollment                  </url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>

   <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>  EERequestFilter              </filter-name>
      <url-pattern>  /profileSubmit               </url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>

Start the CA again.
```
service pki-ca start
```
