Optional: Configuring Oracle Advanced Security Network Encryption (ASO Native Encryption)

Important: It is prohibited to activate Both Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and ASO native encryption (or checksum) at the same time. If want to use ASO native encryption, you must disable SSL encryption.

Encryption and integrity parameters are defined by modifying an sqlnet.ora file on both the clients and the servers on the network.

The default value for each of the parameters is ACCEPTED.

  1. To enable the encryption, start the Net Manager on the Client.

  2. Select Profile -> Network Security -> Encryption.

  3. Require encryption from the client; set the encryption methods; and, optionally, set a seed that is 10-70 characters in length.

Note: The GUI interface requires you to set a seed, but it can be deleted in the sqlnet.ora file after saving the configuration.
