Issue

  • Is HTTP Strict-Transport-Security Header enabled in Liferay?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • Liferay enables HTTP security headers such as 'http.header.secure.x.content.type.options', 'http.header.secure.x.xss.protection', 'http.header.secure.x.content.type.options' by default.
  • The HTTP Strict-Transport-Security Header is not enabled in Liferay as the required configuration should be performed on an Application Server like Tomcat or the WebServer like Apache.
  • However, there is a feature request for enabling the HSTS Header at Liferay's end. Please refer to the LPS-39213 and can vote on the LPS, so that if the feature is implemented you will come to know.
