Configure SSL for Node Manager
Communication between Node Manager and an Administration Server uses the Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, configured for two-way SSL.
Authentication requires use of the public key infrastructure, including a
password-protected private key and a user identify certificate.
The default WebLogic Server installation includes demonstration key and certificate
files that allow you to use SSL communication out of the box. The files—
DemoIdentity.jks, DemoTrust.jks,anddemo.crtsetup—are installed in
WLSHome/server/lib. No additional configuration is necessary if you are using the
sample key and certificate files.

Node Manager’s default monitoring shutdown and restart behaviors are described in
“Default Configuration” on page 4-2. To reconfigure the behavior, see “Configure

Note: These features are available when the conditions described in
“Prerequisites for Automatic Restart of Managed Servers” on page 3-8 are
met.
