CONFIGURING A WEBLOGIC PROXY SERVER

CONFIGURING A WEBLOGIC PROXY SERVER - PEOPLESOFT


This post applies to the Simple WebLogic Clustering and Advanced WebLogic Clustering architecture only. This section describes the steps to configure a WebLogic proxy server for clustering.

IIS Proxy Plug-in

If you are using the IIS proxy plug-in please follow the PeopleSoft installation guide to configure the plug-in as a proxy server. For PeopleTools 8.44 refer to the “Working with WebLogic” section of the “PeopleTools: Server

Tools” PeopleBook. Once installation is complete and has been tested to function with one instance of the WebLogic servers follow the following steps to cluster enable the proxy server by editing the iisproxy.ini file.

Here is a sample iisproxy.ini file without clustering. Comment lines are denoted with the "#" (hatch) character.
# This file contains initialization name/value pairs
# for the IIS/WebLogic plug-in.
WebLogicHost=ProxyHost1
WebLogicPort=5010
ConnectTimeoutSecs=20
ConnectRetrySecs=2

Here is a sample iisproxy.ini file with clustering. Comment lines are denoted with the "#" (hatch) character.
# This file contains initialization name/value pairs
# for the IIS/WebLogic plug-in.
WebLogicCluster= WebHost1:5010,WebHost2:5010
ConnectTimeoutSecs=20
ConnectRetrySecs=2
CookieName=PORTAL-PSJSESSIONID

where CookieName must match the property portalServletSessionCookieName and CookieName in
PS_HOME\webserv\
and in your Web Profile in your database.

Optional: Create a DNS name entry for the IP address for the proxy i.e. 123.123.123.10, that will be used to

access the website.
