How to Integrate Salesforce services with Oracle Fusion Middleware ?

Introduction

Recently there was a requirement of a customer to integrate Salesforce.com web-services with Oracle Fusion Middleware/Oracle SOA.
Scenario was, a SOA composite will try to access Salesforce services. We need to configure Oracle Fusion Middleware to access the Salesforce services (external web-services) outside the firewall.

To achieve this we need to perform two steps:

Install the salesforce web services certificate in the Weblogic Trust store (DemoTrust.jks or cacerts)

Download the certificates by accessing the web-service and then import the certificates using Java Keytool

• keytool -keystore "DemoTrust.jks" -import -alias "test.salesforce.com" -file "test.salesforce.com.crt"

Verify if the certificates are added or not by giving the following command:

• Keytool -list -keystore DemoTrust.jks

Second Step is to configure the proxy in SOA Domain to access the remote SalesForce services

For SOA services to communicate to external web-services we need to configure proxy in SOA Server/Weblogic.

Following changes need to be made in setSOADomainEnv.sh (Linux Environment)

The EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES variables needs to be modified as follows

EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES} -Dhttps.proxySet=true -Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.aj.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=443 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1"

export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES

https.proxyHost: Your proxy Host
https.proxyPort: Your proxy port, 443 is the default port for https
http.nonProxyHosts: Your non proxy servers, the list can be separated with a "|"

After all the changes are done, restart the complete domain.
