A hardware load-balancer (HWLB) is positioned as the primary entry point into your WebLogic Server domain. Aspects of your application use SSL to protect data on the network from your clients to your domain. 

Which configuration provides the best performance for your domain? (Choose the best answer.) 

Answer options:

A. Configure the HWLB to use an SSL hardware accelerator and terminate SSL.
B. Configure the HWLB to use pass-through SSL, configure an SSL hardware accelerator on WebLogic, and terminate SSL.
C. Configure the HWLB to delegate SSL handling to the WebLogic Proxy Plug-in and terminate SSL.
D. Configure the HWLB to use pass through SSL to the WebLogic Server that it connects to, and terminate SSL.

A

In most of the architectures, the SSL is terminated at the hardware load balancer for performance reasons and allows the internal traffic to use HTTP for communication. Reference: http://ora-soa.blogspot.se/2012/10/weblogic-setting-wrong-protocol-in-wsdl.html
