Moving SSL Load-Balanced Tomcat Server to WebLogic 12.2
We are moving an application hosted on a cluster of Tomcat 9 containers to WebLogic 12.2. The Tomcat servers are behind a load balancer that also does SSL offloading (the Tomcat servers listen on port 8080 HTTP while the end user connects to port 443 HTTPS on the load balancer). We are keeping the load balancer in the WebLogic setup and in addition, the WebLogic server has an Oracle HTTP Server in between the App server and the load balancer.
On Tomcat, it is configured to let the application know that it is eventually HTTPS, even though the Tomcat server itself does not handle SSL it by having [ scheme="https" proxyName="<external.facing.server.name>" proxyPort="443" secure="true" ] set in the <Connector> configuration in server.xml file. I am trying to find the recommended way to configure this the same way in WebLogic. I tried setting Environment → Servers → [server] → Protocols → HTTP → Frontend Server. That appears to be equivalent to the proxyName="<external.facing.server.name>" setting in Tomcat, but it does not change the port and HTTPS.
