Encryption
This section provides information describing how to use the Oracle Net8 Assistant to configure encryption parameters.
To configure encryption parameters:
- Click on the "Encryption" tab.
- Select either CLIENT or SERVER from the Encryption pull-down menu.
- Select a value from the Encryption Type pull-down menu to specify the degree of encryption behavior as a client is connecting to a server. You may select from one of the following options:
- accepted = service will be active if the other side of the connection specifies either "required" or "requested", and there is a compatible algorithm available on the other side; it will otherwise be inactive.
- rejected = service must not be active, and the connection will fail if the other side specifies "required".
- requested = service will be active if the other side of the connection specifies either "accepted", "required", or "requested", and there is a compatible algorithm available on the other side; it will otherwise be inactive.
- required = service must be active, and the connection will fail if the other side specifies "rejected", or if there is no compatible algorithm on the other side.
- Enter any valid encryption seed in the Encryption Seed field. The encyrption seed specifies the characters used when generating cryptographic keys. This is required when either encryption or checksumming is enabled.
- Click on an encryption type from the list of Available Services. Use the < or > buttons to move encryption types to the list of Selected Services from the list of Available Services. The following algorithms are supported by Oracle Advanced Networking Option:
