Configure SSL

After you enable SSL, you must configure it.

To configure SSL:
  1. Obtain an identity (private key and digital certificates) and trust (certificates of trusted certificate authorities) for WebLogic Server. Use the digital certificates, private keys, and trusted CA certificates provided by WebLogic Server, the CertGen utility, the keytool utility, or a reputable vendor such as Entrust or Verisign to perform this step.
  2. Store the identity and trust. Private keys and trusted CA certificates which specify identity and trust are stored in keystores.
  3. Configure the identity and trust keystores for WebLogic Server in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
  4. Set SSL configuration options for the private key alias and password in the WebLogic Server Administration Console. Optionally, set configuration options that require the presentation of client certificates (for two-way SSL).
