移除OBIEE的HTTPS并切换为HTTP，需调整Oracle Traffic Director吗？

Absolutely, you do need to adjust configurations in Oracle Traffic Director (OTD) since it's your front-end load balancer handling all incoming traffic to OBIEE. Here's a step-by-step guide tailored for someone new to OTD:

1. Modify OTD's Listener Configuration #

OTD uses listeners to accept incoming traffic. You'll need to either update your existing HTTPS listener to HTTP or create a new HTTP listener, then disable/remove the HTTPS one:

• Option 1: Use OTD Admin Console
  • Log into the OTD management console (usually at http://otd-host:8989 by default)
  • Navigate to your OTD configuration, go to Listeners
  • Delete the existing HTTPS listener (e.g., named https-listener-1)
  • Click New to create an HTTP listener: set port to 80 (or your preferred HTTP port), enter your server/domain name, and leave SSL options unchecked
• Option 2: Edit Configuration Files Directly
  • Locate your OTD config file (typically at OTD_INSTANCE/config/server.xml)
  • Remove or comment out the HTTPS listener block that looks like this:

    <listener>
      <name>https-listener-1</name>
      <port>443</port>
      <server-name>your-obiee-domain.com</server-name>
      <ssl>true</ssl>
      <cert-nickname>your-ssl-cert</cert-nickname>
    </listener>
    

  • Add a new HTTP listener block:

    <listener>
      <name>http-listener-1</name>
      <port>80</port>
      <server-name>your-obiee-domain.com</server-name>
    </listener>
    

2. Update OTD Routing Rules #

Make sure OTD routes incoming HTTP traffic to your OBIEE backend servers over HTTP (not HTTPS):

• In the OTD console, go to Routes
• Find the route pointing to OBIEE (usually named something like obiee-route)
• Update the Target URLs to use http:// instead of https:// (e.g., http://obiee-server-1:9704,http://obiee-server-2:9704)
• If editing config files directly, check the <route> node in server.xml to ensure the <target> uses HTTP

3. Adjust OBIEE's Frontend URL #

OBIEE might still reference the old HTTPS URL in its UI components, so you need to update this:

• Log into the OBIEE Enterprise Manager (EM) console
• Navigate to your WebLogic Domain > OBIEE Instance > Configuration > General
• Update the Frontend URL to your new HTTP address (e.g., http://your-otd-host:80/analytics)
• Restart OBIEE services (Presentation Services, Analytics Server) for changes to take effect

4. Clean Up and Validate #

• Remove HTTPS redirects: If OTD had any rules forcing HTTP to HTTPS (check <redirect> blocks in server.xml), delete them to avoid unexpected redirects
• Restart OTD: Use the command tadm restart-config --config=your-config-name (or restart via the console)
• Test access: Visit http://your-otd-host/analytics and verify the page loads correctly, with all resources (images, scripts) loading over HTTP (check browser dev tools for mixed content errors)
• Check logs: Review OTD's access logs (in OTD_INSTANCE/logs/access.log) to confirm all incoming requests are using HTTP

Key Notes #

• Ensure your firewall allows traffic on OTD's HTTP port (80) and blocks the old HTTPS port (443) if it's no longer needed
• If your OBIEE backend (WebLogic) was configured to require HTTPS, you'll need to adjust WebLogic's security settings to allow HTTP connections
