WebLogic Server security

WebLogic Server provides a J2EE container for hosting and managing Studio and the Dgraph Gateway Java applications. Additionally, WebLogic's Admin Server is used to perform many administrative tasks for the BDD cluster.

To help keep WebLogic Server secure, it is automatically installed with the minimum number of packages required by BDD. To further improve its security, you should:

Install it in production mode, which sets it to run with settings that are more secure and appropriate for a production environment.
Never run it in development mode within a production environment.
Replace its SSL certificates after installing.

For more information, see the Installation Guide.

Connection filters

WebLogic Server also supports domain connection filters, which enable you to deny access to domains at the network level. These are similar to firewalls in that they can be configured to filter on protocols, IP addresses, and DNS node names, and can protect server resources on individual servers, clusters, or an entire internal network. For example, you could set them to deny all non-SSL connections originating from outside your corporate network.

For more information on connection filters, see Using Network Connection Filters.
