To make Oracle APEX HTTPS, you need to configure your web server to use HTTPS, and then configure your APEX application to use HTTPS as well.
Configuring Your Web Server for HTTPS
- Obtain an SSL Certificate: You will need an SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
- Install the SSL Certificate: Install the certificate and its private key on your web server. The installation process will vary depending on the web server you are using.
- Configure Your Web Server: Configure your web server to use HTTPS for the port your APEX application is running on. This typically involves creating a virtual host configuration file that specifies the port, SSL certificate, and other settings.
Configuring Your APEX Application for HTTPS
- Update APEX Settings: In your APEX application, update the settings to use HTTPS. This usually involves changing the base URL to use
https://
instead ofhttp://
. - Update Links and Images: Ensure all links and images within your application use HTTPS URLs.
- Redirect HTTP Requests: Set up redirects from HTTP to HTTPS so that users are automatically redirected to the secure version of your application.
Example Configuration
Here's a basic example of how to configure Apache for HTTPS:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName your-apex-domain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/apex/app
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your/certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your/private.key
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</FilesMatch>
</VirtualHost>
By following these steps, you can successfully make your Oracle APEX application secure and accessible through HTTPS.
