Enabling SSL with a Load Balancing Router

Running a Forms application that uses an HTTPS port requires a certificate to be imported. If Oracle Forms is behind a load balancing router, and SSL terminates at it, you need to import the certificate from the load balancing router.

To enable SSL with your Forms applications over a load balancing router:

  1. Start a Web browser and enter the Forms application HTTPS URL containing the fully qualified host name (including port number if required) used by your own Oracle installation. For example: https://example.com:443/forms/frmservlet

    The Security Alert dialog box is displayed.

  2. Click View Certificate.

  3. Click the Details tab in the Certificate dialog.

  4. Click Copy to File...

  5. In the Welcome page of the Certificate Export Wizard, click Next.

  6. In the Export File Format page, select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), then click Next.

  7. Enter a file name such as c:\temp\forms, then click Next.

  8. Click Finish.

    A message appears saying that the export was successful.

  9. Click OK.

  10. Close the Certificate Export Wizard, but keep the Security Alert dialog open.

  11. Import the security certificate file that you saved earlier into the certificate store of the JVM you are using.

  12. At the Security Alert dialog, click Yes to accept the security certificate and start the Forms application.

To import the certificate into Java Plugin:

  1. On the client machine, open the Control Panel.
  2. Open Java.
  3. Navigate to Securities tab.
  4. Click Certificate.
  5. Import the certificate that was exported in the previous section.
  6. Click Apply.
