</IfModule>
Note: Defining parameters in an included file is not supported when using SSL
between Apache HTTP Server Plug-In and WebLogic Server.
n Each parameter should be entered on a new line. Do not put an ‘=’ between the
parameter and its value. For example:
PARAM_1 value1
PARAM_2 value2
PARAM_3 value3
n If a request matches both a MIME type specified in a MatchExpression in an
IfModule block and a path specified in a Location block, the behavior
specified by the
Location block takes precedence.
n If you define the CookieName parameter, you must define it in an IfModule
block.
Using SSL with the Apache Plug-In
You can use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to protect the connection
between the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In and WebLogic Server. The SSL protocol
provides confidentiality and integrity to the data passed between the Apache HTTP
Server Plug-In and WebLogic Server. In addition, the SSL protocol allows the plug-in
to authenticate itself to WebLogic Server to ensure that information is passed to a
trusted principal.
The Apache HTTP Server Plug-In does not use the transport protocol (
http or https)
specified in the HTTP request (usually by the browser) to determine whether or not the
SSL protocol is used to protect the connection between the Apache HTTP Server
Plug-In and WebLogic Server.
Note: You cannot configure a 2-way SSL between the Apache HTTP Server and
WebLogic Server. The SSL protocol is a point-to-point connection,
cyptographically sealed end-to-end. Therefore, any type of proxy or firewall
cannot see into the SSL socket. The Apache HTTP Server acts as the server
end-point in the SSL connection. The configuration is:
