Configure Oracle Advanced Security

Use Net8 Assistant to configure Oracle Advanced Security. Each Oracle Advanced Security tab page enables you to configure a separate set of parameters. Oracle Advanced Security enables data encryption and integrity checking, enhanced authentication, single sign-on, and support for Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). Oracle Advanced Security also provides centralized user management on LDAP-compliant directory servers and certificate-based single sign-on; this functionality relies on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is configured with Net8 Assistant.

To configure Oracle Advanced Security:

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

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

3. The following tab panels are displayed:

   - Authentication

   - Other Parameters

   - Integrity

   - Encryption

   - SSL

4. Make your configuration changes.

5. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.

Your changes are saved to the sqlnet.ora file located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin on UNIX or in ORACLE_HOME\network\admin on Windows platforms.

| Note: If Oracle Advanced Security is not displayed on the list, then it was not installed when you installed Net8.
