6.8 Client Requirements: Using HTTPS with Oracle JInitiator

If your end users are running Oracle JInitiator as the Web browser JVM, then you need to check that the Root Certificate Authority of your Web site's SSL certificate is one of those defined in the JInitiator certdb.txt file.

The certdb.txt file is usually found under c:\program files\oracle\jinitiator <version>\lib\security on the computer where JInitiator was installed.


Note:

If you are running with Oracle Application Server Web Cache enabled (which is usually the case), you should use the file OracleAS_HOME/webcache/wallets/default/b64certificate.txt. If you are not running with Web Cache (that is, you are accessing the Oracle HTTP Server directly) you will need to create the demo root certificate file as follows:

To define the Root Certificate Authority for your Web site:

  1. Start Oracle Wallet Manager

  2. Open ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.wlt/default/ewallet.p12

  3. Select menu option Export Wallet under the Operations menu

  4. Save as text file "demoCertCA.txt"

Once you have the required certificate file, you should follow the instructions to configure JInitiator to use the certificate (appending it to JInitiator's certdb.txt file).

For more information about Oracle JInitiator, see Appendix B, "JInitiator".
