2 Starting and Stopping WebLogic Servers
2-8 Administration Guide
Note: Secure a plain text copy of the private key password before you allow
WebLogic Server to write the password to a file. You will not be able to
retrieve the plain text password from
pkpassword.ini after booting the
server.
n When using SSL, you can turn off host name verification. By default, the Host
Name Verifier in WebLogic Server compares the SubjectDN of a digital
certificate with the host name of the server that initiated the SSL connection. If
the SubjectDN and the host name do not match, the SSL connection is dropped.
Should you decide to turn off host name verification (for example, to use the
demonstration digital certificates shipped with WebLogic Server) include the
following argument on the command line:
-Dweblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true
Note that BEA does not recommend using the demonstration digital certificates
or turning off host name verification in any type of production deployment.
n To use a custom Host Name Verifier with WebLogic Server include the
following argument on the command line:
-Dweblogic.security.SSL.HostnameVerififier=hostnameverifierimpl
mentation
where hostnameverifierimplmentation is the name of the class that
implements the
weblogic.security.SSL.HostnameVerifier interface.
n SSL session caching is turned on by default. To modify the server-session
caching default size and time-to-live, include the following arguments on the
command line:
-Dweblogic.security.SSL.sessionCache.size=sessionCacheSize
-Dweblogic.security.SSL.sessionCache.ttl=sessionCacheTimeToLive
where sessionCacheSize is the size of the session cache and
sessionCacheTimeToLive is the session cache time-to-live in seconds. The
minimum, maximum, and default values for the two parameters are:
sessionCache.size: min 1, max 65537, default 211
sessionCache.ttl: min 1, max Integer.MAX_VALUE, default 90
n You can specify the name of the domain configuration when starting the
Administration Server by using the following argument on the command line:
-Dweblogic.Domain=domain_name
