How can the HSTS header be added to WebLogic?

Is there an implementation for using the Strict-Transport-Security header to WebLogic? I figure it would be using something in web.xml under <security-constraint>

I know how to do this for an Apache based server, but I am unsure on adding it in for WebLogic.

Please note, with this instance I am unable to use Apache in front of WebLogic.

Answer

There is no any specific configuration for HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security ) on weblogic.

However, the installation can be configured to work on HTTPS protocol.

You can set ‘transport-guarantee’ to CONFIDENTIAL or INTEGRAL in web.xml. With that set, WebLogic Server will automatically redirect a client to the HTTPS port if the original request was over HTTP.

An example of the web.xml file entry is as follows:

<security-constraint>
<user-data-constraint>
<description>USE SSL</description>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
