Configuring SSL and Custom Domain Name for Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic
You can configure Secure Socket Layer (SSL) between clients and the nodes in your Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic instance to ensure that applications are accessed securely and configure custom domain name so that your clients can access your applications using a custom domain name instead of a public IP address.
SSL is the most commonly-used method of securing data sent across the internet, and assures visitors that transactions with your application are secure. By default SSL is already enabled within the software components of a service instance. They are configured to use a self-signed SSL certificate that was generated by Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic. Clients will typically receive a message indicating that the signing certificate authority (CA) for this certificate is unknown and not trusted. You can update the load balancers to use a custom SSL certificate, or a certificate that you have obtained from a CA.
By using the load balancer as the front-end, you can quickly and easily associate a custom "vanity" domain name to your application environment. Rather than accessing your applications using a public IP address, clients can use your custom domain name.
Refer to the following topics for information on configuring SSL and custom domain name.
