Hi all,

whenever we connect to the oracle server from a client over the network, is the request (username and password) encrypted and sent. If so what is the standard algorithm used for this.

Hi,

Well to know abt that encryption is used in ur oracle client/server or not check these parameters in SQLNET.ORA file on client and on server :

sqlnet.encryption_client
sqlnet.encryption_server

And to know abt the encryption method being used by ur server/client check these parameters in SQLNET.ORA file on client and on server :

sqlnet.encryption_types_client
sqlnet.encryption_types_server

Thanx.

As dalgit has said, please look into sqlnet.ora

You will find entries like this...

sqlnet.encryption_types_server=(RC4_256, RC4_128, RC4_56, RC4_40, DES,DES40)
sqlnet.crypto_checksum_types_server=(MD5, SHA1)

sqlnet.encryption_client=accepted
sqlnet.crypto_checksum_client=accepted
sqlnet.encryption_types_client=(RC4_256, RC4_128, RC4_56, RC4_40, DES,DES40)
sqlnet.crypto_checksum_types_client=(MD5, SHA1)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

-- and the trick lies here becuase we change the seeed for each machine
sqlnet.crypto_seed = 2345lkjas09827546d0fqa49q34lalskjdf09w34
