14.6.4.6.2 Configure Parallel Page Engine Loop-Back with Load Balancer The purpose of the

Parallel Page Engine PPE Servlet is to construct pages that have been requested by users. It does this by receiving the page request from a user, making its own new requests to fetch all the pieces of the page in parallel, assembling these pieces into a single page file and then sending the page content back to the end user or back to the client browser. These internal requests should be kept inside of the organization, and be served using the HTTP protocol. The following steps are required only if you are using a load balancer. 1. Log into the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Manager using this URL: http:apphost1.us.oracle.com:7001em

2. Select Fusion Middleware Classic - Portal from the object browser on the left.

3. Right-click Portal, and select Settings Page Engine.

If you do not know the value of this password, it can be changed in Enterprise Manager as described above. Parameter Value UsePort Select the internal loopback port number, for example: 7777. This port will have been configured at the load balancer for internal requests. Use Scheme Change to the value of HTTP 14-44 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide

14.6.4.6.3 Database Wallets and Portal If you are using SSL, Oracle Portal requires that

the database in which the portal schema resides has a wallet. In this wallet is stored the certificate of the load balancer or the site. Once the wallet has been created, Oracle Portal must be informed of its location. Create a Database Wallet Before starting this process, copy the certificate to the database servers. Each browser does this in a slightly different way. For Firefox browsers: 1. Use a browser to access the URL https:mysite.mycompany.com.

2. Go to Firefox Preferences Advanced Encryption view certificates.

3. Highlight the certificate for mysite.mycompany.com select export and give the file a name. 4. Copy this file to the database server. 5. Save the certificate if requested. 6. Now that you have obtained a copy of the certificate, create a wallet on each of the database servers, and import this certificate using the Oracle Wallet Manager from the database server. This must be done for all of the Oracle RAC nodes by following these steps:

a. Type owm to invoke the Oracle Wallet Manager.
