Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate in the Load Balancer

For development in Oracle SOA Cloud Service environments, you can use either a CA-issued or a self-signed certificate. You can create a self-signed certificate using the Load Balancer Console.

To obtain and use a CA-issued certificate instead, see Import a CA-Issued SSL Certificate to the Load Balancer.

1. In the Oracle SOA Cloud Service Console, click for the desired service instance and select Open Load Balancer Console. Log in to Console using the credentials defined when provisioning your service instance.

   If you created your service instance using the Oracle SOA Cloud Service console, the user name and password default to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console user name and password.

   Access the load balancer configuration (opc-config) by following the steps below:

   1. Once logged in to the OTD console, click the icon.
   2. Expand the Traffic Director folder.
   3. Click on the load balancer configuration (opc-config).
2. Perform these steps to create a self-signed certificate:
   1. Click Traffic Director Configuration and select Security, then Manage Certificates.
   2. Click Generate Keypair.
   3. Enter an Alias for the new certificate.
   4. Set the Common Name to your custom domain name. For example, example.com.
   5. Complete the remaining fields and click OK.
