Certificates play a large part in the configuration of the Oracle EBS applications. Several certificate types are used as in this configuration and must be imported into the LoadMaster.

More information about managing LoadMaster certificates can be found in SSL Accelerated Services, Feature Description.

Server Certificates

To encrypt traffic between the client and the LoadMaster, the necessary certificates must be installed. If the configuration is to be encrypted traffic from end to end, the same certificates on the back end systems may be used. These certificates can either be in .PEM or .PFX formats and are imported under Certificates & Security > SSL Certificates in the main menu of the LoadMaster WUI.

Intermediate Certificates

Intermediate certificates are imported to allow the LoadMaster to trust the Certificate Authorities used in obtaining the Server and Client Certificates. These certificates are in Base64 format and are imported under Certificates & Security > Intermediate Certs in the main menu of the LoadMaster WUI.
