IMPLEMENTING SSL IN OBIEE 11G

Follow the below steps to enable HTTPS secure connection in the OBIEE 11g URL:

1. Login to the Weblogic Console with the Admin credentials.

2. Navigate to the path: Environment > Servers.

3. Click on the AdminServer(admin) and open the General tab under Configuration.
4. Lock and Edit the configuration.
5. Check the box for ‘SSL Listen Port Enabled’ and enter the value for ‘SSL Listen Port’ as 7002.

Note: We can uncheck the ‘Listen Port Enabled’ checkbox if we do not want anyone to be able to connect to the Console and EM via HTTP.

6. Go back to the Servers and navigate to the bi_server1. Open the General tab under Configuration.

7. Check the box for ‘SSL Listen Port Enabled’ and enter the value for ‘SSL Listen Port’ as 443.

Note: We can uncheck the ‘Listen Port Enabled’ checkbox if we do not want anyone to be able to connect to the application via HTTP.

8. Activate the Changes and restart all the services.

9. Now the services should be available over a secure HTTPS connection. The URL to the Weblogic Console and EM will be as follows:

https://machineName:7002/console
https://machineName:7002/em
and the new application URL will be:
https://machineName/analytics
The port number 443 can also be written in the application URL, but it will be automatically hidden once we connect to the URL.
