SSL and Firewalls

Conﬁguring Secure Sockets Layer Authentication 7-13

Note: Although Oracle Connection Manager can be used to avoid

opening up multiple SSL ports through the ﬁrewall, consider the

following:

■ The internal connection, between Oracle Connection Manager

and the database, is not an SSL connection. You should encrypt

such connections, using Oracle Advanced Security native

encryption.

■ Because such connections do not use SSL, clients cannot use

certiﬁcate-based authentication.
