Enabling SSL with a Load Balancing Router

5-20 Forms Services Deployment Guide detect whether the user has logged on or been authenticated. The cookie is sent in all subsequent network requests to avoid further logon prompts. The codebase and server URL values that are set up by the Oracle WebLogic Server installation process include ORACLE_HOMEformsjava and formslservlet. As these are under the document base of the page ORACLE_HOMEforms, authenticating proxies will work.

5.7 Oracle Forms Services and SSL

To run Oracle Forms Services applications in SSL mode: ■ Create a Wallet to manage certificates. ■ Enable the HTTPS port in Oracle HTTP Server. By default, Oracle HTTP Server has one SSL Port enabled 8890. ■ Enable Web Cache to accept HTTPS connections from Oracle HTTP Server. For more information on the above topics, see the section SSL Configuration in Oracle Fusion Middleware in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide.

5.8 Enabling SSL with a Load Balancing Router

Running a Forms application that uses an HTTPS port requires a certificate to be imported. If Oracle Forms is behind a load balancing router, and SSL terminates at it, you need to import the certificate from the load balancing router. To enable SSL with your Forms applications over a load balancing router: 1. Start a Web browser and enter the Forms application HTTPS URL containing the fully qualified host name including port number if required used by your own Oracle installation. For example: https:example.com:443formsfrmservlet The Security Alert dialog box is displayed.
