Each zone carries its own default security level that may need to be adjusted when accessing Oracle E-Business Suite through it.

Step 3: In the 'Add this Web site to the zone:' field, enter the 'hostname and domain' of the environment you are running the Oracle E-Business Suite, e.g. https://<hostname>.<domain name>, then click the 'Add' button. Alternatively you can simply add the domain name preceded by '*', so that all sites under that domain go through this zone. i.e. *.<domain name> (If you are entering an http://... or '*.' domain address, you must ensure that the 'Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone' is not checked).
