RE: Oracle and SqlNet behind a firewall

If the firewall is of a proxy type, it should have a proxy for Oracle. If it is a packet filtering one, have a look at Connection manager (MPI in former releases). I personally have never done that, only read about it.

Just put our first NT server with Oracle 8.0.5 and Net8 behind a firewall.

The security guys are complaining because all the inbound traffic goes in through port #1521, but the outbound traffic is using multiple and random ports.
They don't like this.

Anybody know anything about this?
