SSL security uses cryptography and symmetric encryption to provide communication at the transport layer for data sent over a network for application-specific protocols. Mutual authentication, also known as two-way authentication, ensures that both servers trust each other. This document contains the procedures necessary for configuring Mutual Authentication between an Oracle database server and a trusted client server.
Note: You must have Oracle Enterprise Edition with
the Advanced Security option installed on your database server.
If you do not have the Oracle client installed on your client
server, you can create the client server wallet and certificates
on the database server and copy over the client server
wallet.
