The instructions below explain how to set up NGINX as an ingress for the OAM domain with SSL termination.
Note: All the steps below should be performed on the master node.
Generate a private key and certificate signing request (CSR) using a tool of your choice. Send the CSR to your certificate authority (CA) to generate the certificate.
If you want to use a certificate for testing purposes you can generate a self signed certificate using openssl:
$ mkdir <workdir>/ssl
$ cd <workdir>/ssl
$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt -subj "/CN=<nginx-hostname>"
For example:
$ mkdir /scratch/OAMK8S/ssl
$ cd /scratch/OAMK8S/ssl
$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt -subj "/CN=masternode.example.com"
Note: The CN should match the host.domain of the master node in order to prevent hostname problems during certificate verification.
The output will look similar to the following:
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
..........................................+++
.......................................................................................................+++
writing new private key to 'tls.key'
-----
Create a secret for SSL by running the following command:
$ kubectl -n oamns create secret tls <domain_uid>-tls-cert --key <workdir>/tls.key --cert <workdir>/tls.crt
For example:
$ kubectl -n oamns create secret tls accessdomain-tls-cert --key /scratch/OAMK8S/ssl/tls.key --cert /scratch/OAMK8S/ssl/tls.crt
The output will look similar to the following:
secret/accessdomain-tls-cert created
Use helm to install NGINX.
Add the helm chart repository for NGINX using the following command:
$ helm repo add stable https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
The output will look similar to the following:
"stable" has been added to your repositories
Update the repository using the following command:
$ helm repo update
The output will look similar to the following:
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Successfully got an update from the "stable" chart repository
Update Complete. ⎈ Happy Helming!⎈
If you can connect directly to the master node IP address from a browser, then install NGINX with the --set controller.service.type=NodePort parameter.
If you are using a Managed Service for your Kubernetes cluster, for example Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and connect from a browser to the Load Balancer IP address, then use the --set controller.service.type=LoadBalancer parameter. This instructs the Managed Service to setup a Load Balancer to direct traffic to the NGINX ingress.
To install NGINX use the following helm command depending on if you are using NodePort or LoadBalancer:
a) Using NodePort
$ helm install nginx-ingress -n <domain_namespace> --set controller.extraArgs.default-ssl-certificate=<domain_namespace>/<ssl_secret> --set controller.service.type=NodePort --set controller.admissionWebhooks.enabled=false stable/ingress-nginx
For example:
$ helm install nginx-ingress -n oamns --set controller.extraArgs.default-ssl-certificate=oamns/accessdomain-tls-cert --set controller.service.type=NodePort --set controller.admissionWebhooks.enabled=false stable/ingress-nginx
The output will look similar to the following:
NAME: nginx-ingress
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Jul 12 13:57:21 2022
NAMESPACE: oamns
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
The nginx-ingress controller has been installed.
Get the application URL by running these commands:
export HTTP_NODE_PORT=$(kubectl --namespace oamns get services -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" nginx-ingress-controller)
export HTTPS_NODE_PORT=$(kubectl --namespace oamns get services -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[1].nodePort}" nginx-ingress-controller)
export NODE_IP=$(kubectl --namespace oamns get nodes -o jsonpath="{.items[0].status.addresses[1].address}")
echo "Visit http://$NODE_IP:$HTTP_NODE_PORT to access your application via HTTP."
echo "Visit https://$NODE_IP:$HTTPS_NODE_PORT to access your application via HTTPS."
An example Ingress that makes use of the controller:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress

# This section is only required if TLS is to be enabled for the Ingress
tls:
- hosts:

secretName: example-tls
If TLS is enabled for the Ingress, a Secret containing the certificate and key must also be provided:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: example-tls
namespace: foo
data:
tls.crt: <base64 encoded cert>
tls.key: <base64 encoded key>
type: kubernetes.io/tls
b) Using LoadBalancer
$ helm install nginx-ingress -n oamns --set controller.extraArgs.default-ssl-certificate=oamns/accessdomain-tls-cert --set controller.service.type=LoadBalancer --set controller.admissionWebhooks.enabled=false stable/ingress-nginx
The output will look similar to the following:
$ helm install nginx-ingress -n oamns --set controller.extraArgs.default-ssl-certificate=oamns/accessdomain-tls-cert --set controller.service.type=LoadBalancer --set controller.admissionWebhooks.enabled=false stable/ingress-nginx
NAME: nginx-ingress
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Jul 12 13:57:21 2022
NAMESPACE: nginxssl
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
The ingress-nginx controller has been installed.
It may take a few minutes for the LoadBalancer IP to be available.
You can watch the status by running 'kubectl --namespace oamns get services -o wide -w nginx-ingress-ingress-nginx-controller'

Navigate to the following directory:
$ cd $WORKDIR/kubernetes/charts/ingress-per-domain
Edit the values.yaml and change the domainUID: parameter to match your domainUID, for example domainUID: accessdomain. The file should look as follows:
# Load balancer type. Supported values are: NGINX
type: NGINX
# Type of Configuration Supported Values are : SSL and NONSSL
sslType: SSL
# domainType Supported values are soa,osb and soaosb.
#WLS domain as backend to the load balancer

Run the following helm command to install the ingress:
$ cd $WORKDIR
$ helm install oam-nginx kubernetes/charts/ingress-per-domain --namespace <domain_namespace> --values kubernetes/charts/ingress-per-domain/values.yaml
For example:
$ cd $WORKDIR
$ helm install oam-nginx kubernetes/charts/ingress-per-domain --namespace oamns --values kubernetes/charts/ingress-per-domain/values.yaml
The output will look similar to the following:
NAME: oam-nginx
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Jul 12 14:01:01 2022
NAMESPACE: oamns
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
Run the following command to show the ingress is created successfully:
$ kubectl get ing -n <domain_namespace>
For example:
$ kubectl get ing -n oamns
The output will look similar to the following:
NAME CLASS HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE
access-ingress <none> * 10.101.132.251 80 2m53s
Find the node port of NGINX using the following command:
$ kubectl --namespace <domain_namespace> get services -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[1].nodePort}" nginx-ingress-ingress-nginx-controller
For example:
$ kubectl --namespace oamns get services -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[1].nodePort}" nginx-ingress-ingress-nginx-controller
The output will look similar to the following:
31051
Run the following command to check the ingress:
$ kubectl describe ing access-ingress -n <domain_namespace>
For example:
$ kubectl describe ing access-ingress -n oamns
The output will look similar to the following:
Name: access-ingress
Namespace: oamns

To confirm that the new ingress is successfully routing to the domain’s server pods, run the following command to send a request to the URL for the WebLogic ReadyApp framework:
$ curl -v -k https://${MASTERNODE-HOSTNAME}:${MASTERNODE-PORT}/weblogic/ready
For example:
a) For NodePort
$ curl -v -k https://masternode.example.com:31051/weblogic/ready
b) For LoadBalancer:
$ curl -v -k https://loadbalancer.example.com/weblogic/ready
The output will look similar to the following:
