WL-Proxy-SSL HTTP header is not working in WebLogic 10.3.4 with F5 Big-IP load balancer

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone. I received an update from Oracle Support that has made great progress in correcting this issue:

 

 

Generic Note

Hello Micheal,

 

 

I am currently going through the SR notes and analysing the information provided.

 

 

However I would wish to know the outcome of enabling the Weblogic Plugin Enabled parameter from the Domain_Name --> Configuration Tab --> Web Applications Sub Tab

 

 

You will need to check the Weblogic Plugin Enabled option.

Hi Shrikant,

 

 

I made the setting change you recommended and restarted the AdminServer. It appears that WebLogic server is now recognizing the WL-Proxy-SSL header from the F5 and behaving accordingly.

 

 

I have tested the WebLogic Admin Console and it seems to be working as expected.

 

 

I am still having some issues with the Fusion Middleware Control (EM) application over https (it works correctly over http through the load-balancer). Some elements of the Fusion Middleware Control UI are not rendering correctly or behaving correctly.

 

 

I will continue to troubleshoot and post another update.

 

 

Regards,

 

Mike
