The default WebLogic Server installation uses a demo certificate to support SSL. Oracle recommends installing a certificate from a well-known third party to strengthen the security of the environment.

Below are the steps to configure SSL in WebLogic

1. Create Java KeyStore (JKS) and generate key
2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
3. Send the CSR file to CA to issue the certificate
4. Import Certificates (Root, Intermediate(if any) & Server)
5. Configure SSL in WebLogic Server
   • Change KeyStore type in WebLogic Server
   • Specify path of Identity KeyStore and Trust KeyStore
   • Specify Private Key Alias in WebLogic Server
   • Enable SSL in WebLogic Server
6. Test SSL
