Switching from SSL to TLS for Oracle WebLogic Server

By default, when Oracle WebLogic Server uses HTTPS for secure connections such as for Forms and Reports, SSL (Secure Socket Layer) v3.0 and TLS (Transport Layer Security) v1.0 are configured. SSL is the original protocol used for secure connections via HTTPS where TLS is the newer, more secure protocol. In recent months, a security vulnerability known as Poodle, “Paddling Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption”, was discovered to be. In summary, Poodle is a “man-in-the-middle” exploit which can allow hackers to view encrypted information.
