Outbound SSL to Database Configuring SSL between Oracle WebLogic Server

Configuring SSL in Oracle Fusion Middleware 6-23 complete the manual procedure described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services.

6.5.5.2 SSL for Oracle Forms

To SSL-enable Oracle Forms, you need to enable SSL on the components front-ending Oracle WebLogic Server. For example, if you have an Oracle HTTP Server and an Oracle Web Cache front-ending the Oracle WebLogic Server that hosts Oracle Forms, you need to configure the following: ■ Inbound SSL for Oracle Web Cache See Section 6.4.2.1, Enable Inbound SSL for Oracle Web Cache Using Fusion Middleware Control. ■ Inbound SSL for Oracle HTTP Server See Section 6.4.3.1, Enable SSL for Inbound Requests to Oracle HTTP Server Virtual Hosts Using Fusion Middleware Control. ■ Inbound SSL for Oracle WebLogic Server See Section 6.5.1.1, Inbound SSL to Oracle WebLogic Server. ■ SSL between Oracle Web Cache and Oracle HTTP Server See Section 6.4.2.3, Enable Outbound SSL for Oracle Web Cache Using Fusion Middleware Control. ■ SSL between Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server See Section 6.4.3.3, Enable SSL for Outbound Requests from Oracle HTTP Server.

6.5.5.3 SSL for Oracle Discoverer

Running Oracle Discoverer over https requires certain tasks such as enabling SSL for the Oracle HTTP Server virtual host and Oracle Web Cache front-ending the Oracle WebLogic Server that hosts Oracle BI Discoverer, among others. For details, see Configuring End-to-End Secure Sockets Layer for Discoverer in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer.

6.5.5.4 SSL for Oracle Portal

Oracle Portal uses a number of different components such as the Parallel Page Engine, Oracle HTTP Server, and Oracle Web Cache each of which may act as a client or server in HTTP communication. As a result, each component involving Oracle Portal in the middle tier is individually configured for https. For details, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Portal. Note: These steps are necessary only if you wish to set up end-to-end SSL. In most cases, it is sufficient to enable SSL only on the first component getting the request, since the other components are usually within the intranet. For example, if the request is sent to Oracle Web Cache, you may only need to follow the first step. If the request is sent to Oracle HTTP Server, you may only need to follow the second step. Select the steps as dictated by your topology.
