Very Computer

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.

Are you sure that SSH can't? I don't see why it could'nt.

No I'm not sure because I didn't test it myself but (copied form
another news mailing):

MTS hands the process a randomly selected port for the continuing
connection to use, and informs SQL*Net on the client. Then the listener
gets out of the way, and resumes listening for the next connection.
Notice that the connection is no longer using the port on which it was
started.

The assignment of a random port explains why it won't work I think.
