Complete the following tasks on the offloader hardware using the documentation provided by your offloader hardware vendor:
SSL-enable a port on the offloader. This port, with the server alias that you created (see Adding a Server Alias), can be used for external (browser to offloader) communication.
The offloader should unencrypt the requests received by the virtual server and forward the unencrypted requests to Oracle HTTP Server.
Configure redirection of requests from the offloader:
If you are not using a load balancer, configure redirection from the offloader to Oracle HTTP Server.
If you are using a load balancer, configure redirection from the offloader to the load balancer.
If you are using a load balancer, configure it.
Note: | In an SSL terminated at load balancer scenario, the offloader must set the value of WLProxySSL header to true to ensure communication between the SSL-enabled offloader and EPM System that is not SSL-enabled. If SSL context is lost before the request reaches the Weblogic plugin, you must add a header at the SSL termination point. If you are using BIG-IP, do so by adding WL-Proxy-SSL:true as the value in Request Header Insert row while creating a new HTTP profile.
