Open Port Issue Exists after implementing Entra Id containers
My team is interested to understand if anyone else who has used Apache with the WebLogic Plugin have any tips for us - We have built a Podmain container based on RHEL 9 that runs Apache as a reverse proxy leveraging the Oracle Weblogic plugin and mod_auth_openidc for Open ID Connect authentication with Microsoft Entra ID
Hi rsj8466,
When using Apache as a reverse proxy with the WebLogic plugin and mod_auth_openidc for OpenID Connect authentication with Microsoft Entra ID, it's important to ensure that the Apache proxy settings, like timeout and connection management, are optimized for your environment. You’ll also want to verify that the OpenID Connect authentication flow is configured correctly, including making sure that the necessary claims and scopes are passed to Apache.
For the WebLogic plugin, double-check that it’s properly forwarding requests and handling authentication as expected. On the security side, ensure that SSL/TLS is enabled for communication between Apache, WebLogic, and Entra ID, and that the token validation and key management practices are up-to-date.
Also, it’s a good idea to monitor logs in both Apache and WebLogic to catch any issues early and make sure everything scales properly as your environment grows.
Regards!
