Configuring WebLogic GridLink DataSource with secure SCAN URL and secure ONS

Configuring SCAN and ONS on WLS GridLink datasource is already covered in Oracle whitepaper here In this discussion today, I will list high level steps that are needed to configure secure SCAN and secure ONS on WLS GridLink Datasource instead of using their plain counterparts. Here are the high level steps: 1) TCPS based listener configuration needs to be implemented on DB server side. Once it is done, we would get a secure SCAN URL. Based on this scan URL, we would get jdbc URL for use with our GridLink datasource, something like: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(HOST=sup.oracle.vm)(PORT=1523)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=racdb.oracle.vm))) 2) ONS daemons running on RAC nodes need to be secured as well with user certificate (using wallet). Note that it is essential to have ditto wallet configuration in following(or equivalent) files to secure ONS daemon successfully: node1: ons.config ons.config.node1 node2: ons.config ons.config.node2 Here is sa
