Entrust Authentication Process
Entrust-Enabled SSL Authentication F-5
Entrust Authority Server Login Feature provides single sign-on by enabling Oracle
Database server process access to incoming SSL connections. Without this
capability, a database administrator or other privileged user would have to enter
the password for the Entrust profile on the server for every incoming connection.
Contact your Entrust representative to get Entrust Authority Server Login Feature.
Entrust Authority IPSec Negotiator Toolkit
The Entrust Authority IPSec Negotiator Toolkit is required on both clients and
servers for integrating the Oracle Advanced Security SSL stack with Entrust
Authority, enabling SSL authentication to use Entrust profiles.
Contact your Entrust representative to get Entrust Authority IPSec Negotiator
Toolkit.
Entrust Authentication Process
Figure F–1 illustrates the following Entrust authentication process:
1. The Entrust user on the Oracle client establishes a secure connection with the
server using SSL and Entrust credentials.
2. The Oracle SSL adapter on the server communicates with the Entrust Authority
to check the certificate revocation status of the Entrust user.
Note: Figure F–1 does not include client and server profiles
creation, which is presumed.
