Add Ingress Rules to Access WebLogic Server Administration and Other Consoles

If you provision an instance after 1 August 2020 and you are not able to access the WebLogic Server Administration Console or other console URLs from your browser after provisioning, then you must create rules to allow traffic into your Administration Server VM.

Note:

Before performing these steps, be aware that this means that Weblogic Server allows inbound traffic to the known public IPs or CIDRs that you configure. Oracle recommends that you do not allow inbound traffic to be visible to unknown public IPs.

 

To add ingress rules to allow access to the WebLogic Server Administration Console or other console URLs:

 

1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
2. Open the navigation menu, click Networking, and then click Virtual Cloud Networks.
3. Select the compartment where you created the new instance.
4. In the list of VCNs, select your VCN.
5. On the Virtual Cloud Network Details page, click Security Lists in the left pane.
6. Click the security list that the Administration Server VM is using.
7. Click Add Ingress Rules to open the Add Ingress Rules dialog.
   
   
   
8. In the Add Ingress Rules dialog, create an ingress rule to access the WebLogic Server Adminstration Console:
   1. Leave the STATELESS checkbox deselected.
   2. For SOURCE TYPE, select CIDR.
   3. In the SOURCE CIDR field, enter the public IP address of the machine where the Administration Server URL is opened from a browser (for example, if the public IP address is123.123.456.456 then enter 123.123.456.456/32). Alternatively, you can enter a CIDR.
   4. In the IP PROTOCOL field, select TCP.
   5. In the DESTINATION PORT RANGE field, enter 7002.
   6. Click Add Ingress Rules.
   
   
   
9. Repeat the steps above to add ingress rules to access other consoles, specifying the associated DESTINATION PORT RANGE value.
