4.3.3.4 Usage of Protected Ports
In the case of Oracle WebLogic Server
- Operate WebLogic Server using an unprivileged account, bind to unprotected ports, and use NAT to map protected ports to the unprotected ports.
- Configure WebLogic Server to start with a privileged account, bind to protected ports, and then change the user account to an unprivileged user account. For this purpose, Oracle WebLogic Server on UNIX needs to be configured to have a post-bind user ID or group ID. For additional details, refer to the section Create and configure machines to run on UNIX in the Administration Console Online Help.
