The Administration Port is a domain wide configuration that segregates all administrative traffic from the application traffic.The Administration Port requires all WebLogic Server instances, including the Administration Server and the Managed Server, to already be configured to use SSL.

To enable the Administration Port, access the Administration Console:
  1. Access the Administration Console by pointing your web browser to http://adminhost.domain.local:7001/console.
  2. Click on the Lock & Edit button to start a new edit session.
  3. Click on the PROD_DOMAIN link on the left-hand side navigation tree.
  4. Check the Enable Administration Port checkbox and enter 17002 in the Administrative Port text field (as shown in the following screenshot). Click on the Save button.
    How to do it...
  5. Click on Activate Changes to finish.
  6. The Administration Console now is accessible only from the URL https://adminhost.domain.local:17002/console.
With the Administration Port enabled, the WebLogic Server creates a new internal network administrative channel that is now used to transfer administrative data between the Administration Server and the Managed Servers.
The Administration Port also allows the segregation of application and administrative traffic through different channels.
