A Secure Deployment Checklist

Follow this checklist to deploy your Oracle Communications Pricing Design Center (PDC) securely.

1. Pre-installation steps:

   1. Enable SSL for the target Oracle WebLogic Server domain.

   2. Configure the server keystore certificate and get the client keystore trusted certificate.

   3. Configure Oracle Database advanced security encryption and integrity algorithms for a secure connection from the installer.

   4. Ensure that Oracle JDK 1.8.0_172 or later is installed and configured with your PDC or WebLogic installation.

2. Installation steps:

   • Select SSL mode and provide the client keystore certificate (.jks file) for connecting to a WebLogic server over SSL.

3. Post-installation steps:

   1. If you do not need the installation log files, make sure to delete them.

   2. The WebLogic Server administrator will need to create PDC users based on the roles and privileges.

   3. Do not use your browser's remember password feature for the WebLogic Server Administration Console URL.

   4. Enable secure cookies.

   5. Verify that file permissions for the installed files are 600 for all non-executable files and 700 for all executable files.

4. Un-installation steps:

   • Delete the log files in OracleInventory/logs/ manually if you do not need them or protect them appropriately if they are required for further references. These log files have file permission 640 (owner can read/write, group members can read, others cannot do anything) by default.
