Attribute

Description

Range of Values and Default

CertAuthenticator

The name of the Java class that implements the weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator class. This class maps the digital certificate of a client to a WebLogic Server user. the weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator class has an authenticate() method that WebLogic Server calls after validating the digital certificate presented by the client.

Admin Console field label: Cert Authenticator

Required: no

Secure value: weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator

CertificateCacheSize

The number of certificates held that have not been redeemed by tokens.

Admin Console field label: Certificate Cache Size

Default: 3

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 231-1

Ciphersuites

Specifies the cipher suites being used on a particular WebLogic Server.

The possible values are:

  • SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL

  • SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA

  • SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5

  • SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5

  • SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA

  • SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES_40_CBC_SHA

  • SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA

  • SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

  • SSL_DH_anon_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5

  • SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5

  • SSL_DH_anon_EXPORT_WITH_DES_40_CBC_SHA

  • SSL_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA

  • SSL_DH_anon_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

The default is SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5.

Required: no

ClientCertificateEnforced

Defines whether or not clients must present digital certificates from a trusted certificate authority to WebLogic Server.

Admin Console field label: Client Certificate Enforced

Default: false

Enabled

Indicates whether the SSL port in the SSLMBean is enabled. If this is disabled then the plain-text (non-SSL) listen for this server must be enabled. Additional ports can be configured using

Admin Console field label: SSL Listen Port Enabled

Default: false

ExportKeyLifespan

Specifies the number of times WebLogic Server can use an exportable key between a domestic server and an exportable client before generating a new key. The more secure you want WebLogic Server to be, the fewer times the key should be used before generating a new key.

Admin Console field label: Export Key Lifespan

Default: 500

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 231-1

HandlerEnabled

Not used. Ignore.

Admin Console field label: Handler Enabled

Default: true

HostnameVerificationIgnored

Indicates whether the installed implementation of the weblogic.security.SSL.HostnameVerifier class is enabled.

Admin Console field label: Hostname Verification Ignored

Default: false

HostnameVerifier

The name of the class that implements the weblogic.security.SSL.HostnameVerifier class. This class verifies that the host name in the URL received from an SSL client matches the common name in the server certificate's distinguished name. This class prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. The weblogic.security.SSL.HostnameVerifier has a verify() method that WebLogic Server calls on the client during the SSL handshake.

Admin Console field label: Custom Hostname Verifier

Required: no

Secure value: weblogic.security.SSL.HostnameVerifier

IdentityAndTrustLocations

Indicates where SSL should find the server's identity (certificate and private key) as well as the server's trust (trusted CAs).

If set to KEYSTORES, then SSL retrieves the identity and trust from the server's keystores (that are configured on the Server MBean).

If set to FILES_OR_KEYSTORE_PROVIDERS, then SSL first looks in the deprecated KeyStore providers for the identity and trust. If not found, then it looks in the flat files indicated by the SSLMBean's TrustedCAFileName, ServerCertificateFileName and ServerKeyFileName attributes.

Domains created in WLS 8.1 or later default to KEYSTORES. Domains created before WLS 8.1 default to FILES_OR_KEYSTORE_PROVIDERS.

Admin Console field label: Identity and Trust Locations

Required: no

KeyEncrypted

This attribute is no longer used as of WLS 7.0. Specifies whether or not the private key for the WebLogic Server has been encrypted with a password.

  • If the attribute is set to true, the private key requires a password be supplied in order to use the key.

  • If the attribute is set to false, the private key is unencrypted and may be used without providing a password.

Admin Console field label: Key Encrypted

Default: false

Secure value: true

ListenPort

The TCP/IP port at which the WebLogic Server listens for SSL connection requests.

Admin Console field label: SSL Listen Port

Default: 7002

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 65535

LoginTimeoutMillis

Specifies the number of milliseconds that WebLogic Server waits for an SSL connection before timing out. SSL connections take longer to negotiate than regular connections.

If clients are connecting over the Internet, raise the default number to accommodate additional network latency.

Admin Console field label: SSL Login Timeout

Units: milliseconds

Default: 25000

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 231-1

Name

The name of this configuration. WebLogic Server uses an MBean to implement and persist the configuration.

Required: no

Notes

Optional information that you can include to describe this configuration.

Required: no

SSLRejectionLoggingEnabled

This setting controls whether logging is done when a connection over SSL is rejected.

Admin Console field label: SSLRejection Logging Enabled

Default: true

ServerCertificateChainFileName

Deprecated. This attribute is no longer used as of WLS 7.0. The full directory location and name of the file containing an ordered list of certificate authorities trusted by WebLogic Server. The .PEM file extension indicates that method that should be used to read the file. Note that the digital certificate for WebLogic Server should not be stored in this file.

Admin Console field label: Server Certificate Chain File Name

Required: no

Default: server-certchain.pem

ServerCertificateFileName

Deprecated. The full directory location and name of the digital certificate for WebLogic Server. The file extension ( .DER or .PEM) tells WebLogic Server how to read the contents of the file.

Admin Console field label: Server Certificate File Name

Required: no

Default: server-cert.der

ServerKeyFileName

Deprecated. The full directory location and name of the private key for WebLogic Server. The file extension (.PEM) indicates the method that should be used to read the file.

Admin Console field label: Private Key File Name

Required: no

Default: server-key.der

ServerPrivateKeyAlias

The string alias used to store and retrieve the server's private key in the keystore. This private key is associated with the server's digital certificate.

Admin Console field label: Private Key Alias

Required: no

ServerPrivateKeyPassPhraseEncrypted

The encrypted passphrase used to retrieve the server's private key from the keystore. This passphrase is assigned to the private key when it is generated.

Required: no

Encrypted: yes

TrustedCAFileName

Deprecated. The name of the file containing the PEM-encoded trusted certificate authorities.

Admin Console field label: Trusted CA File Name

Required: no

Default: trusted-ca.pem

TwoWaySSLEnabled

Is two way SSL enabled?

Admin Console field label: Client Certificate Requested But Not Enforced

Default: false

Secure value: "true"

UseJava

Enables the use of native Java libraries. WebLogic Server provides a pure-Java implementation of the SSL protocol. Native libraries enhance the performance for SSL operations on the Solaris, Windows NT, and IBM AIX platforms.

Admin Console field label: Use Java

Default: true
