Reply@ Subbu,
Please follow metalink note 380490.1 – Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Configuration in a DMZ
For iSupplier and iRecruitment specific settings check Appendix B
Following Profile Options are key :
POS: External URL
POS: Internal URL
please adivse the “additional steps are required to reconfigure EBS on 80” in the question number 2 on your post.
ReplyHello Atul,
My requirment is configuring ” software load balancer with r12.1.3 “.
As I have gone through some links and metalink doc id’s (Doc ID 380489.1, 727171.1) , These all id’s and links are recommending for hardware load balancer .but our requirment is software load balancer.
Can you tell me about third party software load balancer and how to configure EBS r12 by using that.?
does you have knowledge about Piranha software load balancer with r12.?
Reply@ Dodul,
Steps on EBS suite side doesn’t change for software or hardware load balancer they are same.
For software load balancer you must configure request forwarding to EBS application node with session stickiness (similar to setup you do for hardware load balancer)
ReplyThanks for your reply Atul,
I will be very thank full to you if you send me any Doc id/Link or steps to configure software loadbalancer with R12.1.3 in my mail id.
Thank you,
Dodul
@ Dodul, every software load balancer will have their own steps. First identify which software load balancer you are planning to use.
ReplyHi Atul,
I want to implement SSL with H/W Load Balancer for R12. Where Do I have to put the SSL certificates? on Load Balancer or in Wallet on server. In our current 11i setup we have put the certificateon Load Balancer.
Thanks in Advance!
Reply@ yogeshbhandarkar ,
It depends where you SSL is terminating .
If SSL is terminating at load balancer and mode between load balancer and application tier is non-ssl then you should deploy certificates on Load Balancer.
If SSL is going all the way till application tier then you should put certificate on application tier .
ReplyCan I use 2 harware load balancers for EBS R12.1.3 one for 2 internal appstiers, and one for 2 external apptiers, and SSO with webgate 10g and OAM 11g. If so how do I configure the webgate and OAM to recognize the LB’s and send requests back to the correct LB.
Reply@ gmhooper,
Yes you can use 2 hardware load balancer (one for internal and another for external). In EBS there is profile option at site level and server level, for set of internal EBS set SITE level profile option (Authentication Agent) to internal load balancer URL and for external EBS nodes set SERVER level profile option (Authentication Agent) to external load balancer URL . We also provide consultancy and can set this up for you or your client but that will be paid consultancy.
Hi Atul,
Is it possible to configure multiple web entry points and load balancer using Rapid Install?
Thanks
Vivek
Hi Atul,
we set up R12.1.3 with OAM/Webgate 11g for authentication against OID and that is working.
But after we configured Load Balancer address into R12, OAM login page gives “There was an error processing your request. The Login/Portal Server Installation may be incomplete”
AppsLocalLogin.jsp with the LBR address works fine.
Going back to “physical” hostnames in R12 also allows logins to work.
Any idea why LBR would break OAM login? We are using SSL termination at the load balancer.
ReplyWe have r12, where 2 nodes having DMZ SSL enabled. Lb also configured. Now want to use SSL on lb instead of DMZ nodes. What steps we need to do? Please guide
ReplyHi Atul
We have configured Oracle EBS with software load balancer (Microsoft ARR) and it is working great except for one thing. OBIEE is installed on a separate server but under same domain. When trying to call OBIEE from the Apps menu the URL is not switching to the OBIEE server as it should do when we did not have a load balancer installed
Any advise is appreciated

Reply@Walid
Could you please explain “OBIEE is installed on a separate server but under same domain.” ?
Do you mean URL for OBIEE and EBS are same or they are part of same WebLogic Domain ?
When you click in EBS Apps Menu to go to OBIEE what do you see in HTTP Headers ( If you are using firefox then use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ to get Headers or for IE check or for IE http://www.blunck.se/iehttpheaders.html at bottom)
ReplyHi Atul
Thanks for the post.
In our environment, we already have load balancer implemented serving 2 internal application nodes. Our requirement is to implement SSL connection (only inbound connections need to be SSL) with SSL termination at the load balancer. Traffic from LB to application servers need to stay HTTP. I was going through Note “Enabling TLS in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 (Doc ID 376700.1)” . From what I have gathered, I should be following all steps in section 5.2.1 . Would I need to perform the section 5.2.1 Step 1 on each of the application server nodes? would be great if you could explain a bit please.
Thanks
Rahul
@Rahul, 5.2.1 of SSL is in case where SSL is terminating on OHS or OC4J on EBS R12.1 but in your case this is terminating on LB.
ReplyHi Atul,
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with everyone.
I have a question regarding DMZ, can we configure DMZ in Oracle EBS 12.2 while having one DB node and one MT node only (MT node to be used as internal and external in the same time)?
Is there any supported configuration for such architecture?
