IIS Forwarding to Weblogic Which Hosts ORDS/APEX

ThompsonMay 21 2019 — edited May 21 2019

Hello,

I am using a single Windows 2016 server running IIS. On this server I setup Oracle 18c Enterprise Edition with APEX 19.1. I installed ORDS 19.1 and Weblogic 12.2.1.3. Weblogic hosts ORDS and the APEX admin page and the test app displays correctly. Everything works great at this point. Now I want to use IIS as the front end. I want it to forward requests from IIS to Weblogic (in turn it presents the APEX app). We have done this on older servers using Weblogic Proxy Plugins ( https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webtier/downloads/index-jsp-156711.html ) for java applications. It's similar to this old article except that iisforward.dll no longer exists in the new downloads ( https://www.techpaste.com/2012/10/steps-configure-iis-plugin-weblogic-iis-7/ ). I need to use IIS so that I can use something to scan the URL like URLScanner. We need to filter out certain characters in order to pass our security scan. We are thinking that the ? in the APEX URL is causing the issue but we are not sure (i.e. http://servername.com/ords/f?p=100 ).

Has anyone tried to do something similar? I am also looking for alternatives if we can't get IIS to work. Thanks.
