OAM - Webgate NAP Tunneling in OTD (R2PS2, R2PS3 & 12C)

As of now we all are aware how to tunnel a request to OAM through webgate, also we have covered this in Webgate NAP Tunneling.

But there is a catch or you can say you need to do one more step to enable NAP Tunneling when using OTD (Oracle Traffic Director) Server.

I am assuming you have followed all the steps that are mentioned in Webgate NAP Tunneling post. At the very last you need to perform one more step i.e. only for OTD;

  1. To enable NAP Tunneling in OTD, one needs to uncomment a line mentioned in
    <instance_name>-obj.conf file which is as follows;

    #Uncomment the below line  and  configure "from" paramater for enable
    tunneling.  The value of from parameter would be the tunneled URLS
    #NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/oam" dir="/webgate/otd/lib"
    name="webgate_response"


    Above line need to be uncommented, to make nap tunneling enable.
    After doing above change one needs to restart the OTD instance.

    Note
    1. This configuration change, to enable NAP Tunneling, is their since
      R2PS2(with a BP Patch),R2PS3 which is the same carried forward to latest release i.e. 12c as well..
    2. In the change suggested above you will find the tunneled urls, that you need to provide here by default it is /oam. But it might be possible you want to tunnel /oamfed as well.. or any other. So all the tunneled urls are to be provided here as well.


Enjoy :-)
