Configuring the Oracle Net Listener for SSL

If you want to use SSL for communications between ACL Analytics Exchange applications and the Oracle database server, you must configure the Listener to accept SSL connections. The SSL port will need to be configured in addition to a non-SSL port. The non-SSL port is required during installation, and you will also need to have the non-SSL port available if you want to allow direct database access to ACL server tables using the AX Connector. If this direct database functionality is not required, the non-SSL port can be disabled after installation.

To configure the Oracle Net Listener for HTTPS communications:

  1. Select Start > All Programs > Oracle - <instance> > Configuration and Migration Tools > Net Manager.
  2. Click the plus sign next to the Listeners entry in the treeview to display the list of configured listeners.
  3. Select the Listener entry used by ACL Analytics Exchange applications.
  4. Click Add Address.
  5. Select TCP/IP with SSL from the Protocol drop-down list.
  6. Ensure that the hostname for the Oracle database server is listed in the Host text box.
  7. Unless the default port number for SSL connections (2484) is used by another service, enter 2484 in the Port text box. If you use a different port, you will need to enter this port number whenever the Oracle listener port for SSL is required in the ACL Analytics Exchange setup wizards or configuration files.
  8. Select File > Save Network Configuration.
