21.4.1.2 Registering Oracle SES Connections Using WLST

1. Use the WLST command createSESConnection to create a connection to

Oracle SES. For example: createSESConnectionappName=webcenter, name=MySesConnection, url=http:myhost.com:7777searchqueryOracleSearch, appUser=wcsearch, appPassword=welcome1, default=true where appUser is the user name of the Oracle SES Federation Trusted Entity created in Section 21.3.2, Oracle SES - Configuration. For command syntax and examples, see the section, createSESConnection in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. To configure the WebCenter Search service to actively use a new Oracle SES connection, set default=true. For more information, see Section 21.4.2.2, Choosing the Active Oracle SES Connection Using WLST. For information on how to run WLST commands, see Section 1.13.3.1, Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST Commands. Table 21–4 Oracle Secure Enterprise Search - Connection Details Field Description SOAP URL Enter the Web Services URL that Oracle SES exposes to enable search requests. Use the format: http:host:portsearchqueryOracleSearch For example: http:myHost:7777searchqueryOracleSearch Federation Trusted Entity Name Enter the user name of the Oracle SES Federation Trusted Entity created in Section 21.3.2, Oracle SES - Configuration. Tip: This user is configured in the Oracle SES administration tool, on the Global Settings - Federation Trusted Entities page. The WebCenter application must authenticate itself as a trusted application to Oracle SES to perform searches on behalf of WebCenter users. Examples in this chapter use wcsearch for this value. Federation Trusted Entity Password Enter the password for the Federation Trusted Entity. Note: To start using the new active connection you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed. For more information, see Section 8.2, Starting and Stopping Managed Servers for WebCenter Application Deployments. See Also: Section 21.4.3.2, Modifying Oracle SES Connection Details Using WLST
