Applies to:
Oracle Communications ASAP - Version 7.2.0 to 7.2.0 [Release 7.2]Information in this document applies to any platform.
Purpose
In ASAP 7.2.0 Patch 1, support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connectivity between the Order Control Application (OCA) Client (both the Thick Client and the Java Applet Thin Client) and WebLogic Server was added. This allows the OCA Client to communicate with WebLogic over an SSL channel where the connection is secure and the data exchanged is encrypted.
This article describes the configuration steps for making the OCA Client communicate with a WebLogic server using SSL.
Scope
Pre 7.2.0 Patch 1 OCA Client Connectivity
Prior to 7.2.0 Patch 1, the OCA Clients connected to the WebLogic non-SSL port over t3/http.
The OCA Thick Client retrieved the WebLogic port number from the PORT parameter in the OCA client OCA.cfg configuration file. For example,
SESSION
HOST hostname.example.com
PORT 23456
ENV_ID A001
SYSTEM_NAME OCA_A001
END_SESSION
The OCA Java Applet Thin Client used the WebLogic port number from the INFO column of the tbl_server_info table of the CTRL database.
Post 7.2.0 Patch 1 OCA Client Connectivity
Starting in 7.2.0 Patch 1, OCA Clients connect to the WebLogic SSL port over t3s/https by default.
For the OCA Thick Client, a new SSL_PORT parameter in the OCA.cfg file specifies the WebLogic SSL port. The default SSL_PORT value in the OCA.cfg file is 7002. If the SSL port is not 7002, you must modify the OCA.cfg file with the correct SSL port number.
When SSL_PORT is specified in the OCA.cfg file, the OCA Thick Client connects to WebLogic using the specified SSL port, even if a non-SSL port is also specified in the OCA.cfg file.
In the following example, the OCA Thick Client connects to the WebLogic server SSL port 17002:
SESSION
HOST hostname.example.com
PORT 23456
SSL_PORT 17002
ENV_ID A001
SYSTEM_NAME OCA_A001
END_SESSION
For the OCA Java Applet Thin Client, the syntax of the tbl_server_info INFO field is extended. SSL ports are indicated by the “SSL:” prefix. For example: The INFO value “SSL:17002” would indicate that port 17002 is an SSL port, whereas “23456” would indicate that port 23456 is a non-SSL port.
