NOTE

See the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Security Guide for configurations to secure your web server.

You must enable a sticky session or affinity session configuration on the web server. See the respective product-specific Configuration Guide for more details. Additionally, you also must enable the sticky session or affinity session configuration at the Load Balancer level if you have configured a Load Balancer in front of the web server.

Make a note of the IP Address or Hostname and Port of the web application server. This information is required during the installation process (required if the web server is not configured).

Add umask 0027 in the .profile of the UNIX account which manages the WEB server to ensure restricted access permissions.

See the OFSAA Secure Configuration Guide or Security Guide mentioned in the Related Documents section for additional information on securely configuring your web server.
