Create the app in Access Gateway

During this task we will create the JD Edwards application, specify a certificate (if required) and then add the required redirect policy.

Topics:

Create application

To create the application in Access Gateway:

  1. Sign in to the Access Gateway Admin UI console.
  2. Click the Applications tab.
  3. Click +Add.

  4. From the Application menu, select Oracle JD Edwards Enterprise One, and click Create.

    Select JDEdwards and click Create

Configure the application

In the Essentials pane enter:

Field Value
Label The name of the application, For example: JD Edwards
Public Domain The external facing URL of the application. For example: https://jde-external.example.com
Protected Web Resource The URL and port combination of the Oracle JD Edwards Implementation that is being protected. For example: http://jde-internal.example.com:7005 See Configure load balancing
Post Login URL

Enter an appropriate target URL. For example https://jde-external.example.com/jde/owhtml.

Group The group containing users who can access the JD Edwards instance.

Configure load balancing

  1. Expand the Protected Web Resource tab.
  2. Enable Load Balancing By Access Gateway. A table of hostnames and weights representing the target load-balancing instances appears. This table is initially empty. Click the Edit icon to modify an entry in the table, or click the Delete icon to delete an entry.
  3. Choose either HTTP or HTTPS as the URL scheme. Each protected web resource that you add inherits this scheme.
  4. Optional. Enable and enter the Host Header value.
  5. Complete the following steps to add a host. Repeat these steps as required:
    1. Click Add protected web resource.
    2. Enter a fully qualified hostname:port combination, like for example, https://backendserver1.atko.com:7001.
    3. Enter a weight from 1 to 100. Enter 0 to specify that a host is disabled.
    4. Click Okay.

  6. Optional. Configure health checks. They use GET operations to confirm that back-end resources are functional. New requests aren't routed to resources that have been labeled unhealthy by the health checks.

    1. Enable Load Balancer Health Check.
    2. Click Edit to modify health check settings.
    3. Modify the settings as required.
      Field Value

      Default
      Path The URI path to the resource used in the health check. /
      Method The HTTP method used in the health check. Always GET
      Status code The HTTP status code used to determine health. 200
      Interval The interval between health checks in seconds. 10
      Request timeout The health check request timeout in seconds. 1
      Healthy threshold The number of requests that must succeed before a host is considered healthy. 3
      Unhealthy threshold The number of requests that must fail before a host is considered unhealthy. 3
    4. Click Save.

Configure certificates

  1. Expand the Certificates tab.
  2. Optional. Click Generate self-signed certificate. A self-signed certificate is created and automatically assigned to the app.
  3. Optional. Select an existing certificate from the list. Use the Search field to narrow the set of certificates by common name. Use the page forward and backward arrows to navigate through the list.

  4. Click Next. The Attributes pane appears.

    For detailed information on the attribute options, see Application attributes .

  5. Confirm the IDP login attribute.

Configure policy

  1. Click Next. The Policies pane displays.

    See Advanced Access Gateway policy.

  2. On the root policy row, click the Edit icon .
  3. Expand the Advanced sub-tab.
  4. In the Custom configuration tab, enter a proxy redirect for the target JD Edwards application.

    For example:

    proxy_redirect http://jde-app.domain.tld:7005 https://$host:$server_port;
  5. Click Not validated when complete.

    If all values are entered correctly, the Not Validated button will change to Validated.

  6. Click Okay.
