Cross Domain Security Configuration

Do you want to configure Oracle BI connections, or Process Portal, or access other resources on a different WebLogic domain ? Then you have to enable cross domain security on every domain involved.

To configure cross domain security, in Weblogic Console:

1. Select the domain name
2. Select the security tab
3. Enable 'Cross domain security' and apply
4. Expand the advance options, supply a credential and confirm the credentail.
5. Apply.

Repeat for all the other domains. Restart all the domains and servers.

Also keep in mind, if you don't use LDAP, although highly recommended, then you have to replicate the users to all the domains. For example, if a user 'user1' is trying to access a BI SOAP connection in WebCenter, the same user, in the same security realm, should exist in the BI Domain environment.

Hi Pieter,

Isn't cross domain security related to using cross domain protocol? The steps you mentioned looks like global trust and not cross domain security. Can you explain and correct me if i am wrong?

Thanks
