In today’s post, we will show you the configurations that you need to change on the weblogic admin console in order for the server to use its SSL certificate.

From weblogic admin console, go to servers->configuration->Keystore and configure according to below image. Select Custom Key and Trust store and provide identity and trust store paths as created in the previous post.  Provide pass phrase used to create the keystores. Use jks as the keystore type. 

Go to Server->configuration->SSL and configure the page as shown below. Provide the alias and pass phrase that you used to create the private key in the keystore.

Ensure following on this page  Server->configuration->SSL
