SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an industry standard protocol for securing network communications. SSL provides for authentication, encryption, and data integrity. Use the Oracle Advanced Security SSL feature to secure communications between any client and any server. Specifically, you can use SSL to authenticate any client or server to one or more Oracle servers or an Oracle server to any client.

Configure SSL for Client/Server
Click the appropriate radio button to configure either the Client or Server.
Wallet Directory
Enter the directory in which the Oracle wallet is stored. Click Browse to search for the wallet directory.
Cipher Suite Configuration
Several SSL cipher suites have been installed by default. These default cipher suites will be overwritten if you add one or more manually.
Require SSL Version (optional)
Use this drop down list to select which version of SSL must be running on the machines with which the server communicates. You can select SSL v3.0 or choose to allow any existing or future version of SSL to be used.
Require Client Authentication (for Server only)
This check box is selected by default. Deselect this check box if you do not want to require client authentication.
