Hardware networking switches

Some hardware networking switches change the incoming URL before passing the request to the Oracle Central Designer server. For example, if the address entered during a client installation is https://abc.com, a switch might change the URL in the following ways:

• A switch that performs hardware SSL/TLS processing might change the URL to http://abc.com.
• A switch that performs load balancing might change the URL to http://PhysicalServer1.

When the application server is installed in an environment that includes a hardware networking switch, the URL that you enter for the Web server URL root field must match the URL that the networking switch uses to address the application server. From the previous examples, the required URLs must be:

• In the first example, http://abc.com.
• In the second example, http://PhysicalServer1.

Note:

The application server must be able to use the address that you enter for the Web server URL root field to address itself.
