SSL implementation on EBS multinode architecture

[Vinay]

Hi Erman,

Greetings !

we are in process of implementing SSL in our EBS environment .

We have 7 webnode and 8 concurrent managers nodes ,we have OTD on top of web nodes and F5 on top of OTD with SSL enabled .

Question - what is the best approach to enable SSL for  multi  application nodes ?

Should we generate certificate for each application node and get certificate from vendor and import them into respective application nodes ? how handshake between application node works ?

or we should create certificate at OTD/F5 and import certificates of OTD/F5 into application nodes ?

I did not find any metalink note for multi node architecture .

Thank in advance !

There are different ways of implementing SSL in EBS.
You can offload it to the load balancer, or your can enable SSL in all the tiers (including middle tier + load balancer)
The choice is up to you.
Ofcourse, the best way is to enable a full path SSL. From load balancer to Middle tier.. From Middle Tier - to DB.

The main MOS notes for enabling SSL and setting up a proper Load balancer env are ->

Enabling SSL or TLS in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc ID 2143101.1)
Using Load-Balancers with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0 and 12.1 (Doc ID 380489.1)

Read above notes, try to combine the things documented there to build your solution.
