# Enable and configure IIOP

Before you begin

The server instance for which you enable and configure the IIOP protocol does not need to be running.

The IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) protocol makes it possible for distributed programs written in different programming languages to communicate over the Internet. For information about using RMI-IIOP in your applications, refer to the "Programming WebLogic RMI" guide.

To enable and configure the IIOP protocol:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the Administration Console, expand Environments and select Servers.
3. Select the Protocols tab, then select IIOP.
4. Enable the IIOP protocol by checking the Enable IIOP check box.
5. To modify the default configuration, click Advanced.
6. If you want to specify a default IIOP user name and password:
   1. In the Default IIOP User field, enter a user name.
   2. In Default IIOP Password, enter a password.
7. Modify default values for the other attributes.

   See Configuration Options.

8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
