Process Overview

Configuring SSL includes the following steps:

  1. Install EPM System. See Installing EPM System.

  2. SSL-enable the database and database client. See your database documentation for detailed procedures.

  3. Add server aliases on the web server. See Adding Server Aliases.

  4. If you are not using certificates from a well-known third-party CA, prepare Oracle's Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Configurator by importing the required root certificates. You must import root CA certificate into each server in which EPM System components are installed. See Preparing EPM System Configurator.

    Import the root certificate of the CA that signed the following certificates into the EPM System Configurator keystore (MIDDLEWARE_HOME/jdk160_11/jre/lib/security/cacerts):

    • Database server used for Shared Services Registry and Shared Services database

    • Database server used by EPM System components

    • SMTP mail server

    • User directory servers

    • Application servers

    • Web servers

  5. Using EPM System Configurator, configure and deploy EPM System components. You must select the required SSL settings before deploying the web components to the application server. See Configuring and Deploying EPM System.

  6. Configure EPM System web components for SSL communication. See Configuring EPM System Web Components Deployed on WebLogic Server.

  7. Configure the web server (Oracle HTTP Server) for SSL communication. See Configuring the Web Server.

  8. Configure Oracle HTTP Server for redirection to IIS. (Redirection from Oracle HTTP Server to IIS is automatically performed by EPM System Configurator.) See Optional: Setting up Redirection from Oracle HTTP Server Load Balancer to Internet Information Services.
