Introduction
To properly secure a production WebLogic domain, the hardware and host machines must
be physically safe, and operating system and filesystem access must be restricted. Network
access must be protected from unwanted traffic by means of a firewall, and communication
must be encrypted to protect information.
The security subject in Oracle WebLogic Server 12
c
includes so many aspects and features
that a whole topic could be written about it.
WebLogic Server includes the WebLogic Security Service, a set of configurations and tools to
secure the WebLogic domain and its resources.
As this is an administration cookbook, this chapter focuses on some security administration
tasks, such as setting up an authentication provider and enabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
