Configure Oracle Advanced Security Authentication Methods

Centralized, secure authentication methods allow you to have high confidence in the identity of users, clients, and servers in distributed environments. Network authentication methods can also provide the benefit of single signûon for users.

Use Net8 Assistant to configure the following authentication adapters:

- Kerberos

- IDENTIX

- CyberSafe

- SecurID

- Windows NT Native

- RADIUS

| Note: If you have configured the TCP/IP with SSL protocol, then Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be configured by default. Any authentication method you choose in this tab will override authentication features of SSL. See the SSL tab to configure additional SSL options. If you are using the TCP/IP with SSL protocol, do not use any of the other authentication methods.

To configure authentication methods:

1. In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Local > Profile.

2. From the list in the right pane, select Oracle Advanced Security.

3. Select the Authentication tab.

4. From the Available Methods list, select which authentication method you want to use, and then choose the right-arrow button (>).

5. Order the authentication methods according to which method you want used. Select the authentication method in the Selected Methods list, and use the Promote or Demote button to move the selection up or down in the list.

6. Choose the Other Params tab to configure additional parameters for the following authentication methods:

   - Kerberos

   - CyberSAFE

   - RADIUS

   - Identix

7. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
