Restart SSL


In this release of WebLogic Server, all server SSL attributes are dynamic. When modified via the Console, they cause the corresponding SSL server or channel SSL server to restart and use the new settings for new connections. Old connections will continue to run with the old configuration.

Use the Restart SSL button to restart the SSL server when changes are made to the keystore files and need to be applied for subsequent connections without rebooting WebLogic Server.

Note: If automatic realm restart is not enabled in the default security realm, old connections will continue to run with the old configuration. In this case, you must restart WebLogic Server after restarting SSL to ensure that all the SSL connections exist according to the specified configuration. See Enable automatic realm restart.

To restart the SSL server:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the left pane of the Console, expand Environment and select Servers.
  3. Select the check box next to the name of the server for which you want to restart SSL.
  4. Select Control > Start/Stop.
  5. In the Server Status table, select the check box next to the name of the server for which you want to restart SSL channels.
  6. Select Restart SSL.

    Restarts the SSL listen sockets so that keystore changes take effect.

  7. In the Change Center, click Activate Changes.
