Using SSL with the Apache Plug-In

Administration Guide 11-15

client-->2-way SSL-->Apache<--1-way SSL<--WebLogic Server

The Apache HTTP Server cannot use the digital certificate from the first SSL

connection in the second SSL connection because it cannot use the client’s

private key.

Configuring SSL Between the Apache HTTP Server

Plug-In and WebLogic Server

To use the SSL protocol between Apache HTTP Server Plug-In and WebLogic Server:

1. Configure WebLogic Server for SSL. For more information, see “Configuring the

SSL Protocol” on page 14-46.

2. Configure the WebLogic Server SSL listen port. For more information, see

“Configuring the Listen Port” on page 8-5.

3. Set the

WebLogicPort parameter in the httpd.conf file to the listen port

configured in step 2.

4. Set the

SecureProxy parameter in the httpd.conf file to ON.

5. Set any additional parameters in the

httpd.conf file that define information

about the SSL connection. For a complete list of parameters, see “SSL

Parameters for Web Server Plug-Ins” on page -13.
