Expose the T3/T3S Protocol

You can create T3/T3S channels and the corresponding Kubernetes service to expose the T3/T3S protocol for the Administration Server and Managed Servers in an Oracle SOA Suite domain.

Note:

Oracle strongly recommends that you do not expose non-HTTPS traffic (T3/T3s/LDAP/IIOP/IIOPs) outside of the external firewall. You can control this access using a combination of network channels and firewalls.

The WebLogic Kubernetes Operator provides an option to expose a T3 channel for the Administration Server using the exposeAdminT3Channel setting during domain creation, then the matching T3 service can be used to connect. By default, when exposeAdminT3Channel is set, the WebLogic Kubernetes Operator environment exposes the NodePort for the T3 channel of the NetworkAccessPoint at 30012 (use t3ChannelPort to configure the port to a different value).

If you miss enabling exposeAdminT3Channel during domain creation, follow these steps to create a T3 channel for Administration Server manually.
