Network Encryption and Strong Authentication Configuration Tools
Oracle Net Services can be configured to encrypt data using standard encryption
algorithms, and for strong authentication methods, such as Kerberos, RADIUS, and
SSL. The following sections introduce the Oracle tools you can use to configure
these advanced security features for an Oracle Database:
■
Oracle Net Manager
■
Oracle Advanced Security Kerberos Adapter Command-Line Utilities
Oracle Net Manager
Oracle Net Manager is a graphical user interface tool, primarily used to configure
Oracle Net Services for an Oracle home on a local client or server host.
Although you can use Oracle Net Manager to configure Oracle Net Services, such as
naming, listeners, and general network settings, it also enables you to configure the
following Oracle Advanced Security features, which use the Oracle Net protocol:
■
Strong authentication (Kerberos, RADIUS, and Secure Sockets Layer)
■
Network encryption (RC4, DES, Triple-DES, and AES)
■
Checksumming for data integrity (MD5, SHA-1)
This section introduces you to the features of Oracle Net Manager that are used to
configure Oracle Advanced Security. It contains the following topics:
■
Starting Oracle Net Manager
■
Navigating to the Oracle Advanced Security Profile
Starting Oracle Net Manager
You can start Oracle Net Manager by using Oracle Enterprise Manager Console or
as a standalone application. However, you must use the standalone application to
access the Oracle Advanced Security Profile where you can configure Oracle
Advanced Security features.
