Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:RE: Oracle and SqlNet behind a firewall
Dan & Bob,
Depending on which firewall your using there may be a predefined setup for SQL*Net. I know our Raptor firewall does. Makes setting up & minding SQL*Net so much easier for both us & the SA's

Dan,
Our security guys complained about the same thing. When I looked into it, I couldn't figure out how to limit the outbound ports. The problem is that the listener uses port 1521 (or another of your choice) but then hands off to the database. The database then picks a port to use when talking to the client. The best I could come up with at the time, wasz to have the security guys see which ports were being used (they all stay within a certain range) and then open up a range of ports somewhat lower and higher than those being used.
If you do figure this out, please let me know what you did.

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?
