Configure WebLogic

WebLogic Configuration

Configuring WebLogic using the Administration Console to function with JMS LAM has following steps:

  1. Creating a WebLogic JMS Server.

  2. Creating a WebLogic JMS Module.

  3. Creating a Subdeployment for a WebLogic JMS Module

  4. Creating a WebLogic JMS Connection Factory.

  5. Creating a JMS Queue.

  6. Creating a JMS Topic.

Create a WebLogic JMS Server

A JMS server is the container that manages JMS queue and topic destinations. A JMS Server can be configured to persist messages, so they can be delivered even if the server instance they were received at went down.

  1. Enter the URL http://localhost:7001/console in a browser.The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console 12c login page opens.

  2. Enter the Username and Password that were defined during the WebLogic installation.The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console 12c opens.

  3. Expand Services, in the Domain Structure panel on the left, and expand Messaging, then select JMS Servers.

  4. Click New in the Summary of JMS Servers view in the right panel to create a new JMS Server.

    The server shown in the drop down of the Target field is the server created during installation of WebLogic

    The JMS Server is created and can be viewed in the Summary of JMS Servers view.

Create a WebLogic JMS Module

A JMS System Module contains the created queue or topic and the connection factory.

The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console 12c is open.

  1. In the left-hand panel in Domain Structure, click on JMS Modules under Messaging.

SSL Configuration for WebLogic (Optional)

To enable SSL communication via queue the SSL configuration is done in the WebLogic. It includes creation of SSL server and client certificates which are used for authentication during communication.

Note

The following procedure is same for both Windows and Linux

Note

If the SSL configuration is already implemented for WebLogic, then this configuration can be skipped

To create the certificates:

  1. Create a new directory, SSL, in the directory where the Weblogic jar file is stored. For example, navigate to a directory using the command cd setup, then use the command mkdir SSL.

  2. Navigate to the newly created directory SSL using the command cd SSL.

  3. Enter the command mkdir serverstore and mkdir castore. This creates two new directories in the SSL directory.

    Note

    The serverstore directory stores the server certificates, while the castore store directory will store the client certificates

  4. Create, sign and install the client certificates by entering the following commands one by one:

    cd castore  

keytool -genkeypair -keystore castore.jks -storepass welcome1 -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -keyalg RSA

keytool -certreq -keystore castore.jks -storepass welcome1 -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -file rootca.csr -v

keytool -gencert -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -keystore castore.jks -storepass welcome1 -ext BC=2 -rfc -infile rootca.csr -outfile rootca.cer

keytool -importcert -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -keystore catruststore.jks -storepass welcome1 -file rootca.cer

  5. The following files are generated in the castore directory after executing the above commands:

      • castore.jks

      • catruststore.jks

      • rootca

      • rootca.csr

  6. Create, sign and install the server certificates enter the following commands one by one:

    cd ..

cd serverstore

keytool -genkeypair -keystore server.jks -storepass welcome1 -alias 100bytesServer -keypass welcome1 -keyalg RSA

keytool -certreq -keystore server.jks -storepass welcome1 -alias 100bytesServer -keypass welcome1 -file 100bytesServer.csr -v

keytool -gencert -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -keystore ../castore/castore.jks -storepass welcome1 -ext BC=2 -rfc -infile 100bytesServer.csr -outfile 100bytesServer.cer

keytool -importcert -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -keystore server.jks -storepass welcome1 -file ../castore/rootca.cer

keytool -importcert -alias 100bytesServer -keypass welcome1 -keystore server.jks -storepass welcome1 -file 100bytesServer.cer

keytool -importcert -alias rootca -keypass welcome1 -keystore servertruststore.jks -storepass welcome1 -file ../castore/rootca.cer

    Note

    The path given in the commands above is for Linux, for windows you have to replace "/" with "\"

  7. The following files are generated in the serverstore directory after executing the above commands:

      • 100bytesServer

      • 100bytesServer.csr

      • server.jks

      • servertruststore.jks

  8. Enter the URL http://localhost:7001/console in a browser.The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console 12c login page opens.

  9. Enter the Username and Password defined during the WebLogic installation. The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console 12c opens.

  10. Go the left hand panel Domain Structure and click on Servers under Environment.

    • Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase: The keypass used in the commands. E.g. welcome1

    • Custom Trust Keystore: The path of the serverstore.jks file created after running SSL configuration commands . E.g. setup/ssl/serverstore/servertruststore.jks

    • Custom Trust Keystore Type: jks

    • Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase: The keypass used in the commands. E.g. welcome1

    • Confirm Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase and Confirm Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase: Enter the same keypass
