ODAC component connections

Post by catsnboots » Wed 16 Dec 2009 15:04

Hi,

Our systems are being audited and I need to know the following information, The system they are interested in is using Delphi 7 with ODAC 5.8 components. The auditor is asking when a connection is being made through the Delphi executable to the oracle server, is the connection information encrypted when traveling through the network?

Thanks for the help
C&B

The password is always encrypted. Data is not encrypted by default. You should change some settings in the configuration files of Oracle client to enable encryption of transferred data. See the Oracle documentation for details.
