Sometimes, you just want to run NGINX in unsecure mode (over port 80) for internal environments.  The steps here are similar to what I posted some time ago in this post -> here.  I’ll put these steps here as well and highlight (bold) which steps were different.

1.  SSH into the RedHat instance

$ ssh  <user>@<public-ip-address>

2. Sudo to Root

$ sudo su –

3. Install and confirm installation of Nginx

$ dnf -y install nginx && dnf list install nginx

After installing NGINX, the next thing to do is to configure it against Oracle GoldenGate.

Configure NGINX

1. Go to the Reverse Proxy directory under $OGG_HOME

$ cd $OGG_HOME/lib/utl/reverseproxy

2. Run ReverseProxySettings with options (NO SSL)

$ ./ReverseProxySettings -u oggadmin -P <password> —-no-ssl -o ogg.conf http://localhost:<servicemanager_port>

3. Copy the config file to NGINX directory

$ sudo cp ogg.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf

4. Remove or rename the default configuration file

$ cd /etc/nginx/conf.d
$ mv ./default.conf ./_default.con_

5. Start NGINX

$ sudo nginx &

6. Test NGINX config

$ sudo nginx -t

7. Reload NGINX

$ sudo nginx -s reload

8. Access ServiceManager and other services without port numbers

Open a web browser and navigate to the URL, something similar to this:  http://<hostname/ip>:80

End Result

With NGINX configured, you can now access Oracle GoldenGate on port 80.  In the example below, we are using a SecureLink connection and the port numbers are off, but the last two digits are the important ones.  They show that we are using Port 80 for the connection.
