WebLogic: WLST timeout connecting on a secure port

Connecting to a WebLogic server on a SSL port, although highly recommended by Oracle, can have a major drawback: it's damn slow to establish connection.

AFAIK there is no way to speed this up. I have tried the customary "urandom" optimization, to no avail.

So I had to increase the "SSL Login Timeout" (server/configuration/tuning).

"Specifies the number of milliseconds that WebLogic Server waits for an SSL connection before timing out. SSL connections take longer to negotiate than regular connections."

in WLST:

serverName = 'osbts1do'
cd('/Servers/' + serverName + '/SSL/' + serverName)
cmo.setLoginTimeoutMillis(30000)
