Overview
The wls_profile
module allows an easy path from first simple
installation to a fully customized Enterprise setup. It is part of our
family of Puppet modules to install, manage and secure WebLogic and Fusion
Middleware with Puppet. Besides the wls_profile
module, this
family also contains:
-
wls_config For configuring an Oracle WebLogic and other Fusion products
-
wls_install For installing an Oracle WebLogic and other Fusion products
License
Most of the Enterprise Modules modules are commercial modules. This one is NOT. It is an Open Source module. You are free to use it any way you like. It, however, is based on our commercial Puppet WebLogic modules.
Description
This module has a couple of convenient classes to help you setup your WebLogic environment:
-
wls_profile::weblogic Ensure WebLogic is installed and patched
-
wls_profile::basic_domain Same as
weblogic
and create an empty domain. -
wls_profile::admin_server Same as
basic_domain
and create some machines and servers, clusters and some other WebLogic object. -
wls_profile::node Same as
weblogic
and after that copy the domain from an admin server and load it.
All of these classes contain some steps. All of these stapes have default implementations, but you can add extra Puppet code to the catalog and remove or override the default implementation. This can all be done by adding values to your hiera files.

Java Encryption Policy
Run Puppet and you have a Server with WebLogic installed, a domain called
MYDOMAIN
and a cluster called main
. Check the
documentation for all the settings you can manage. Here is a list of the
most basic stuff you'd probably want to change:
wls_profile::domain_name: MYDOMAIN # The domain name
wls_profile::cluster_name: main # Cluster name
wls_profile::weblogic_password: Welcome01 # Weblogic password
wls_profile::source: puppet:///modules/software # Location where the files are fetched from
wls_profile::weblogic::ssh_setup::public_key: AAAAB3N.....M43olbQ==
