Apps URL redirecting to https instead of http after clone
As part of regular practice I tried to clone my Production instance with standard oracle steps. Our Production is configured with Load balancer and SSL Setup at load balancer.
I executed adcfgclone.pl successfully on appsTier.
Later I modified the below context file parameters to disable SSL configuration after clone
<webentryurlprotocol
oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol">https</webentryurlprotocol>
to
<webentryurlprotocol
oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol">http</webentryurlprotocol>
<chronosURL
oa_var="s_chronosURL">https://orapp01.test.com:8000/oracle_smp_chronos/oracle_smp_chronos_sdk.gif</chronosURL>
to
<chronosURL
oa_var="s_chronosURL">http://orapp01.test.com:8000/oracle_smp_chronos/oracle_smp_chronos_sdk.gif</chronosURL>
<EndUserMonitoringURL
oa_var="s_endUserMonitoringURL">https://orapp01.test.com:8000/oracle_smp_chronos/oracle_smp_chronos_sdk.gif</EndUserMonitoringURL>
to
<EndUserMonitoringURL
oa_var="s_endUserMonitoringURL">http://orapp01.test.com:8000/oracle_smp_chronos/oracle_smp_chronos_sdk.gif</EndUserMonitoringURL>
<externURL
oa_var="s_external_url">https://orapp01.test.com:8000</externURL>
to
<externURL
oa_var="s_external_url">http://orapp01.test.com:8000</externURL>
<login_page
oa_var="s_login_page">https://orapp01.test.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
to
<login_page
oa_var="s_login_page">http://orapp01.test.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
Then executed autoconfig ad it completed without any errors. Later I brought up the application services normally and tried to launch application. After launching the url it is again redirecting to https even after chaning necessary parameters context file.
http://orapp01.test.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin is redirecting to https://orapp01.test.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp
Later upon investigation I found that changing all https to http doesn't disable SSL but also need to modify ssl_terminator value in context value as below.
<sslterminator
oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator"/>
to
<sslterminator
oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
This disables SSL configuration. The I executed autoconfig and bounced services and finally I could launch ebs applications from Browser.
Thanks...
