DanNorris.com: Portal Virtual Host Configuration

  • Charles Anderson · 2 years ago
    This was a life saver. Not literally, but I really appreciate your taking the time to post this walk through. I have been having issues with my dev server portal instance, related to the osso registration, and this resolved my issue. The documentation is broken, as you stated.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks, this saved us a lot of trouble.

    We were trying to set up different authentication mechanisms for internal and external users. The solution involved creating another virtual host and changing policy.properties in the SSO server so that external users were redirected to Oracle Identity Federation and internal users were redirected to the Oracle SSO login dialog.

    We ran into problems because of the error in the documentation that you mentioned. Thanks for pointing that out, and for providing a good example of how to configure the webcache properly.

    Thanks for stopping by--I'm glad it helped. I'd love to see a posting somewhere on the configuration you put together. Sounds like an interesting one to document for the rest of us!

    @morz What problem? What is a "system unit"? You mean the server reboots?
  • morz · 1 year ago
    system unit/cpu/case

    yup, my computer reboots after it displays the "port 7778 is not listening". i already fixed the problem on rebooting itself but still, the port 7778 is still their and i cant connect my pc/server to other workstations and to the internet. T_T

    Hi Dan!

    I am trying to do exaclty the same configuration for Portal with one virtual host but although I can access the portal from the main setup URL, when I try to access it from the Virtual Host , I get this error:

    You cannot access this screen because the enabler configuration is missing. (WWC-41974)

    This was also the error I was geting with the default Oracle documentation, but at that case when I accessed first the Portal from the virtual host URL, then also the main URL didn't work. So I guess following your config, I solved the problem with the different versions / virtual host.

    I guess I am doing something wrong with the SSO registration...

    Any ideas would be very welcome and helpful.

    Thanks for your blog post anyway!

    $ORACLE_HOME at steps 6 and under is the INFRA oracle home or the Portal (App) Oracle Home?

    Thanks
  • Dan Norris · 6 months ago
    The ORACLE_HOME throughout the process remains the middle tier (Portal) O_H--you never switch to use the INFRA O_H during this process as outlined in the post.

    thanks! I have made it, it is the middle tier as you said! Thanks again for the tutorial
