4 Configure Identity and Trust Stores for WebLogic

You need to enable SSL on the Oracle Weblogic Server to configure the identity and trust stores.

Log in to the Admin Console of WebLogic Server.

To configure the identity and trust stores:

1. To enable SSL on Oracle Weblogic Server:
   1. On the Homepage, under the Change Center panel, click Lock and Edit.
   2. Expand Servers node.
   3. Select the name of the server for which you want to enable SSL.
      For example, exampleserver.
   4. Navigate to Configuration and select the General tab.
   5. Select the option SSL Listen Port Enabled and specify the SSL listen port.
   6. In the Listen Address field, specify the hostname of the machine in which the application server is installed.
2. Configure identity and trust stores as follows:
   1. On the Homepage, under the Change Center panel, click Lock and Edit.
   2. Expand Servers node.
   3. Select the name of the server for which you want to configure the keystores.
      For example, exampleserver.
   4. Navigate to Configuration and select the Keystores tab.
   5. In the field Keystores, select the method for storing and managing private keys/digital certificate pairs and trusted CA certificates. This choice should match the one made in Section 2 of this document (Choosing the Identity and Trust Stores).
   6. In the Identity section, specify the following details:

      Table 4-1 Identity Section - Field Description

      Attribute	Description
      Custom Identity Keystore File Name	Fully qualified path to the Identity keystore.
      Custom Identity Keystore Type	Set this attribute to JKS (Java KeyStore), the type of the keystore. If left blank, it defaults to JKS.
      Custom Identity Keystore PassPhrase	The password you enter when reading or writing to the keystore. This attribute is optional or required depending on the type of keystore. All keystores require the passphrase to write to the keystore. However, some keystores do not require the passphrase to read from the keystore. Oracle Weblogic Server only reads from the keystore. So whether or not you define this property depends on the requirements of the keystore.

   7. In the Trust section, provide the following details:

      • If you choose Java Standard Trust, specify the Password used to access the trust store.

      • If you choose Custom Trust, the following attributes have to be provided:

        Table 4-2 Custom Trust - Field Description

        Attribute	Description
        Custom Trust Keystore	The fully qualified path to the trust keystore.
        Custom Trust Keystore Type	Set this attribute to JKS, the type of the keystore. If left blank, it defaults to JKS.
        Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase	The password you enter when reading or writing to the keystore. This attribute is optional or required depending on the type of keystore. All keystores require the passphrase to write to the keystore. However, some keystores do not require the passphrase to read from the keystore. Oracle Weblogic.

      The server only reads from the keystore. Hence, whether or not you define this property depends on the requirements of the keystore.

      Note:

      When identity and trust stores are of the JKS format, the passphrases are not required.
