9.4 About Configuring SSL and Non-SSL Ports for Oracle HTTP Server
When you are installing OracleAS Cluster (Identity Management) configurations, the 
installer displays the "Specify HTTP Load Balancer Host and Listen Ports" screen.
This screen has two sections:
In the load balancer section, you specify the load balancer’s HTTP virtual server 
name and port number. You also indicate whether the port is for SSL or non-SSL 
requests.
In the Oracle HTTP Server section, you specify the port number that you want for 
the Oracle HTTP Server Listen port. You also indicate whether the port is for SSL 
or non-SSL requests.
The virtual server and the Oracle HTTP Server Listen port can use different port 
numbers.
You use this screen to set up the type of communication (SSL or non-SSL) between 
client, load balancer, and Oracle HTTP Server. Three cases are possible:
Case 1: Communications between clients and the load balancer use HTTP, and 
communications between the load balancer and Oracle HTTP Server also use 
HTTP. See 
Case 2: Communications between clients and the load balancer use HTTPS, and 
communications between the load balancer and Oracle HTTP Server also use 
HTTPS. Se
Case 3: Communications between clients and the load balancer use HTTPS, but 
communications between the load balancer and Oracle HTTP Server use HTTP. 
See 
9.4.1 Case 1: Client ---[HTTP]---> Load Balancer ---[HTTP]---> Oracle HTTP Server
HTTP Listener: Port
: Enter the port number that you want to use as the Oracle HTTP 
Server Listen port. This will be the value of the Listen directive in the 
httpd.conf
 file.
Enable SSL
: Do not select this option. The installer tries the default port number for 
the SSL port.
HTTP Load Balancer: Hostname
: Enter the name of the virtual server on the load 
balancer configured to handle HTTP requests.
HTTP Load Balancer: Port
: Enter the port number that the HTTP virtual server listens 
on. This will be the value of the Port directive in the httpd.conf file.
Enable SSL
: Do not select this option.
Note:
Because the values you specify in this dialog override the 
values specified in the staticports.ini file, you should not specify port 
numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server Listen port in the 
staticports.ini file.
