Configuring the SSL Protocol
Administration Guide 14-55
Key Encrypted Specifies that the private key for WebLogic Server is
encrypted with a password. The default is false.
If you specify this attribute, you need to use protected keys
with WebLogic Server. Also, when you boot WebLogic
Server, use the following command-line option to start
WebLogic Server.
-Dweblogic.management.pkpassword=password
where password is the password for the private key.
Use Java When selected, enables the use of native Java libraries.
WebLogic Server provides a pure-Java implementation of
the SSL protocol: native Java libraries enhance the
performance for SSL operations on the Solaris, Windows
NT, and IBM AIX platforms. By default, this attribute is not
enabled.
Handler Enabled Specifies whether or not WebLogic Server rejects SSL
connections that fail client authentication for one of the
following reasons:
n The requested client digital certificate was not furnished.
n The client did not submit a digital certificate.
n The digital certificate from the client was not issued by
a certificate authority specified by the
Trusted CA

attribute.
By default, the SSL Handler allows one WebLogic Server
instance to make outgoing SSL connections to another
WebLogic Server instance. For example, an EJB in a
WebLogic Server may open an HTTPS stream on another
Web server. With the HandlerEnabled attribute enabled,
WebLogic Server acts as a client in an SSL connection. By
default this attribute is enabled.
Disable this attribute only if you want to provide your own
implementation for outgoing SSL connections.
Note: The SSL Handler has no effect on the ability of
WebLogic Server to manage incoming SSL
connections.
