6.5.5.1 SSL for Oracle Reports

To SSL-enable Oracle Reports, 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 Reports, 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. Additionally, Oracle Reports in Fusion Middleware Control accesses the reports servlet for data. If that communication needs to take place over SSL, you must 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.
