Hi Priyank ,
You can surely do that . Kindly follow note and set the parameter mentioned
as per Note
376700.1<https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=376700.1>
and use the table for *Changes when using an SSL Accelerator* mentioned in
step 8 . Kindly set the parameters as mentioned in this table , also this
table mentions about the parameter * **s_enable_sslterminato*r that you
have to remove from the current value of # in your context file to blank
value and run the autoconfig. This will configure your application to
receive the HTTP protocol.
However, if you are having a BIG-IP F5 Load Balancer then you can
configure it to fwd HTTP request to application servers by using the note
889308.1<https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=889308.1>
. Similar
note can be found for CISCO ACE balancer as well .
Regards
Abhinav
