The Server is not able to service this request: [Socket:000445]Connection rejected, filter blocked Socket, weblogic.security.net.FilterException

 Connection Filters allow one to deny access to UNWANTED Connections at the network level. Connection Filters can be used to protect server resources on individual servers, server clusters, or an entire internal network or Intranet. Connection filters are particularly useful when using the Administration port. Depending on the network firewall configuration, it may be possible to use a connection filter to further restrict administration access. A typical use might be to restrict access to the Administration port to only the servers and machines in the domain.

WebLogic Server provides a default connection filter called weblogic.security.net.ConnectionFilterImpl. This default connection filter accepts all incoming connections except the ones defined in the Administration Console as a Connection filter rule. Custom connection filters may be written  by implementing the classes in the weblogic.security.net package. This post will demonstrate the steps to configure Weblogic Connection Filters.

1st method from backend:

Log will be captured like below


Modify config.xml and change "deny" to "allow" 


 Bounce the WLS services.

2nd Method from frontend:

If not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit 

  1. In the left pane, click on the domain name.
     
  2. In the right pane, select the Security -> Filter tab.

  3. Click the Connection Logger Enabled attribute to enable the logging of accepted connections.
     
  4. Specify the Connection Filter to be used with the domain. This example uses the default connection filter weblogic.security.net.ConnectionFilterImpl

  5. Specify the Connection Filter Rules. Make sure to use the syntax below while writing the rules:

    Syntax:
    target localAddress localPort action protocols

    • target specifies the client hosts that can connect to the Weblogic Server instance
    • localAddress defines the host address of the Weblogic Server instance to which any client can connect. If specifying an asterisk (*), the match returns all local IP addresses.
    • localPort defines the port on which the WebLogic Server instance is listening to which any client can connect. If specifying an asterisk (*), the match returns all available ports on the server.
    • action specifies the action to perform. This value must be only allow or deny.
    • protocols specifies the list of protocol names to match. The following protocols may be specified: http, https, t3, t3s, giop, giops, dcom, ftp, ldap. If no protocol is defined, all protocols will match a rule.
     
  6. Click Save and in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.

     
  7. Restart all the WebLogic Server instances for changes to take effect.

Linux OL7/RHEL7: PRVE-0421 : No entry exists in /etc/fstab for mounting /dev/shm

How to write to a CSV file using Oracle SQL*Plus

  SPOOL command  The  SPOOL  command is  unavailable  in the browser-based SQL*Plus version,  iSQL*Plus . To generate files while using iSQL*Plus, change the necessary preference settings to directly output to a file. This is accomplished using the  SPOOL  statement. While  SPOOL  is  active , SQL*PLus will store the output of any query to the specified file. Therefore, the next command to enter is  spool : spool filepath Skipping ahead slightly,  after  your query is inserted, you also need to halt  spool  so the file output is closed by using the  spool off  command: spool off Insert the query  The last step after the settings are modified and  spool  is running is to insert your query. For our simple example, we’re outputting all books from our  books  table. SELECT   title,   author FROM   authors; Don’t forget the semi...

How to troubleshoot Long Running Concurrent Request in EBS 12.2

 The following points need to answer before jumping into troubleshooting: Are there any recent code changes done in the concurrent program?           Check long_running_sid and verify the recent code change of last_ddl_timestamp after a             discussion with the developer. Was this running long in the last few run as well, or was this time only?            ==> Check the program history. How much time does it take to complete?           Once again program history can give us some idea. Are these jobs fetching higher data compared to the last run           ===> Confirm on data change . Query Plan change will indicate this issue. Does this job runs at any specific time or it can be run anytime           ===> The nature of the job can help to understand the job's nature. Does this job fetch data using DB Link...
