Nimbostratus
NimbostratusSSL issue with Oracle Apps.
New to F5 - just worked with an engineer on my company's second installation.
We have an SSL cert on our F5 and it works directing users to an Oracle 11i application through a specified port: 8003 or https://my.oracle.app:8003.
Prior to the F5 sending the request to the server the F5 strips off the "s" and sends http://my.oracle.app:8003 - we are trying to set up the Oracle app not to have to use ssl (easier configuration).
However, the response or web page returned now has all http links in the page which the client (still talking ssl) doesn't know what to do with.
As is now, it looks as if our only choice is to confiugre the app to use ssl.
I'd appreciate any insight to this problem - maybe someone has had a similar issues?
- The_BhattmanI believe there is a setting on the SSL profile that allows the SSL rewrites for URLs. YOu will need to look at the F5 Ask Knowledgebase to see where that option is in the profile.
DennisJannOracle 11i does support SSL acceleration, but it sounds like you haven't yet done the additional application configuration on your app server. If you have an account on metalink.oracle.com, check out Note 217368.1 for how to configure your app server to support SSL acceleration.
When properly configured, the links on your web pages should be correct.
ejk67_26591We found a solution - thank you to everyone that assisted. The problem was with the Oracle App needing the ICX_PARAMETERS.SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN set to NULL. The ICX_PARAMETERS is an Oracle table. The following documentation would be helpful for anyone performing a similar configuration.
Oracle E-Business Suite 12 (BIG-IP LTM, WebAccelerator, FirePass)
Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (BIG-IP v9.x)
Balancing, of the following Oracle MetaLink document:
