Configure Password Authentication for the Listener

The listener can be configured with security. This way, privileged operations, such as saving configuration changes or stopping the listener, used from LSNRCTL will require a password. Net8 Assistant enables you to set an unencrypted password.

To set a password for the listener:

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

2. Select a listener.

3. From the list in the right pane, select General Parameters.

4. Select the Authentication tab.

5. Choose Require a Password for Listener Operations.

6. Enter the password in the Password field, and re-enter it in the Confirm Password field.

7. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.

| Note: Encrypted passwords can be set with the LSNRCTL CHANGE PASSWORD command. For further information about this command, see Appendix B, Control Utilities, in the Net8 Administrator's Guide.
