Configuring SSL offloading (LB-OHS-WL)

LB (F5-SSL) to WL(http) plugin to WL cluster(http)

  • Sticky sessions is default
  • SSL ends at LB
  • In F5, I needed to configure a header to be passed with the requests called WL-Proxy-SSL and set the value to true (WL-Proxy-SSL: true)
  • Cockie name goes in the plugin properties (JSESSIONID by default) and deployment descriptor
  • WLProxySSLPassThrough should be set to ON, so that the OHS proxy/plug-in will pass the WL-Proxy-SSL header on to WebLogic Server
  • Configure the Adminserver so that it would acknowledge the proxy plugin headers.  This field is titled "WebLogic - Plug-In Enabled" and can be found on the page Configuration->General in the Advanced section
