1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf with an editor.

2. Search for the "MaxClients" directive within "<IfModule mpm_worker_module>" directive at the OHS server configuration scope.

3. Within the "<IfModule mpm_worker_module>" directive, set the "MaxClients" directive to "2000" or less, add the directive if it does not exist.

Note: This vulnerability can be documented locally with the ISSM/ISSO if the site has operational reasons for the use of a higher value.
