Setting up SSL for Weblogic

We recently needed to setup SSL for OBIEE so that we could accept the EBS cookie for single sign on between EBS and OBIEE (post to come soon on how to get that all wired up). Unfortunatly I don't have all of the steps, as someone else on the team handles the making of the actual cert, but I can provide all steps around the process.
