How to do it...
To enable the Administration Port, access the Administration Console:
1. Access the Administration Console by pointing your web browser to
http://adminhost.domain.local:7001/console .
2. Click on the Lock & Edit button to start a new edit session.
3. Click on the PROD_DOMAIN link on the left-hand side navigation tree.
4. Check the Enable Administration Port checkbox and enter 17002 in
the Administrative Port text field (as shown in the following screenshot).
Click on the Save button.
5. Click on Activate Changes to finish.
6. The Administration Console now is accessible only from the URL
https://adminhost.domain.local:17002/console .
How it works...
With the Administration Port enabled, the WebLogic Server creates a new internal network
administrative channel that is now used to transfer administrative data between the
Administration Server and the Managed Servers.
The Administration Port also allows the segregation of application and administrative traffic
through different channels.
