Q: How to test ANO encryption is working?

Post by Amit Bha » Fri, 16 May 1997 04:00:00



How can I test and verify that SQLNet connections are encrypted when
ANO is enabled (i.e., REQUIRED) at the server and SQL client ends? I
am using Oracle 7.3.2.3.0 on Solaris 2.5.1 (using SQLPlus 3.3.2.0.0 to
connect and test).

        I tried using Sun's snoop network packet filter program to
catch packets destined to the listener (port 1521) and examine them,
but I do not see any difference (in the packets) with or without the
following 2 lines in my sqlnet.ora file.

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = ACCEPTED
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER = (DES,DES40,RC4_128,RC4_40,RC4_56)

I am not a seasoned Oracle user or dba, so any help will be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

1. ANO or SSH for SQL*Net encryption

We would like to encrypt our SQL*Net network traffic. As I understand
there are 2 options :
- use Oracle Anvanced Network Option
- use SSH TCP/IP port tunnelling

Some advantages/disadvantages I figured out:
- SSH makes makes it possible use encryption in other utilities (like
telnet etc).
- ANO can be used with Multi Threaded Server, SSH can't.

I think ANO only resolves the problem with SQL*Net, SSH provides more
security features.

Can anyone give me a some tips on what to use.

Thanks,
Rob.
