5.7 Disabling Host Name Verification for the Administration Server

This step is required if you have not set up the appropriate certificates to authenticate the different nodes with the Administration Server see Chapter 9, Setting Up Node Manager . If you have not configured the server certificates, you will receive errors when managing the different WebLogic servers. To avoid these errors, disable host name verification while setting up and validating the topology, and enable it again once the EDG topology configuration is complete as described in Chapter 9, Setting Up Node Manager. Perform these steps to disable host name verification: 1. Log in to Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

2. Click Lock Edit.

3. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.

4. Click Servers. The Summary of Servers page opens.

5. Select AdminServeradmin in the Names column of the table. The settings page

for the server opens. 6. Open the SSL tab.

7. Expand the Advanced section of the page.

8. Set host name verification to None.

9. Click Save.

10. Save and activate the changes. 11. The change will not take effect until the Administration Server is restarted Node Manager must be up and running: a. Stop the Administration Server using the following command: wls:nmdomain_namenmKillAdminServer b. Start the Administration Server again as described in Section 5.5, Starting the Administration Server on SOAHOST1.

5.8 Configuring Oracle HTTP Server for the Administration Server

To enable Oracle HTTP Server to route to the Administration Server, you must set the corresponding mount points in your HTTP server configuration: 1. For each of the web servers on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2, add the following lines to the file ORACLE_INSTANCEconfigOHScomponentmod_wl_ohs.conf: Admin Server and EM Location console SetHandler weblogic-handler WebLogicHost ADMINVHN WeblogicPort 7001 WLProxySSL OFF WLProxySSLPassThrough OFF Location 5-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle ECM Suite Location consolehelp SetHandler weblogic-handler WebLogicHost ADMINVHN WeblogicPort 7001 WLProxySSL OFF WLProxySSLPassThrough OFF Location Location em SetHandler weblogic-handler WebLogicHost ADMINVHN WeblogicPort 7001 WLProxySSL OFF WLProxySSLPassThrough OFF Location 2. For each of the web servers on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2, make sure the file ORACLE_INSTANCEconfigOHScomponenthttpd.conf includes the following lines: NameVirtualHost :7777 VirtualHost :7777 ServerName admin.mycompany.com:80 ServerAdmin youyour.address RewriteEngine On RewriteOptions inherit VirtualHost 3. Restart Oracle HTTP Server on both WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2. WEBHOST1 ORACLE_BASEadmininstance_namebinopmnctl restartproc ias-component=ohs1 WEBHOST2 ORACLE_BASEadmininstance_namebinopmnctl restartproc ias-component=ohs2 Important Security Consideration For security purposes, and since the load balancer terminates SSL request Oracle HTTP Server routes the requests as non-SSL to WebLogic Server, once SSL is configured for the load balancer, turn on the WebLogic plug-in enabled flag2 for the domain. Make sure you do this only if SSL is configured for the load balancer. To perform this procedure, follow these steps: 1. Log on to the Administration Console. 2. Click on the domain name in the navigation tree on the left. 3. Open the Web Applications tab.

4. Click Lock Edit.

5. Select the WebLogic Plugin Enabled check box.

6. Save and activate the changes. 7. Restart the administration server even though the WLS console may not specifically prompt for that. Creating a Domain with Administration Server 5-9
