Create an Access Rule
This topic does not apply to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Identify the Cloud Infrastructure Used by a Service Instance.
If you provisioned this service instance in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region, instead you must use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to create security lists instead of access rules. See Security Lists in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services documentation.
For example, you can create rules that:
-
Enable an Oracle Database node to access a specific port on your WebLogic Server nodes
-
Enable public internet access to a specific port on the WebLogic Administration Server node
Oracle Java Cloud Service creates several default rules on a new service instance, such as public access to the WebLogic Administration Server node on port 22 for Secure Shell (SSH). Some of these are system rules, which cannot be disabled.
Access to the WebLogic Administration Console, Fusion Middleware Control Console, and Load Balancer Console is disabled by default on a new service instance. To use these consoles, you must enable the corresponding access rules.
Caution:
Make sure you consider the possible security implications before you open ports to external access.Prior to creating an access rule, ensure that the destination node is configured to listen on the chosen ports. For example, on nodes running Oracle WebLogic Server you can configure network channels to control the listen ports for your Administration Server and Managed Servers. Refer to these topics in Administering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server:
-
Configuring Network Resources (12.2.1.3)
-
Configuring Network Resources (11.1.1.7)
