Today I am going to cover overview of SSL & various components of oracle Apps in which you can configure SSL.<\/p>\n

If you encounter any Issues or got any doubts w.r.t. Oracle Applications create a Thread in Oracle Apps Forum at http:\/\/teachmeoracle.com\/forum<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What is SSL ?<\/strong>
\nSSL stands for Secure Socket Layer which is protocol developed by Netscape. Data Transferred between Server & Client is Secured (Encrypted)<\/p>\n

Why I need a SSL in Oracle Applications ?<\/strong>
\nUsually data transmitted between client machine & server (Web Server on http<\/strong> protocol & Forms Server on Sockets <\/strong>) is clear text packets. Any one can put Packet Sniffer between Client machine & Server & can open & read all data transaction between your machine & Server (If he\/she has network access) Hacker can get your Username\/Password or any sensitive data. This become critical when you have Internet access to Oracle Applications 11i (Usually Self Service Implementation)<\/p>\n

Where I need to configure SSL in Apps ?<\/strong>
\nCommunication between Client & Oracle Applications happen via three components.
\n—Oracle Web Server<\/strong> (Initial Connection & all self service access is via Web Server\/Apache). If your Form Server is in servlet Mode then Core Applications are also accessed via Web Server (Jserv Component)
\n—Oracle Form Server<\/strong> : For Core Oracle Application Access (Forms)
\n—Database<\/strong> : You access web server which in turn talks to database Server via UTL_HTTP package via dad (\/pls\/$SID)<\/p>\n

So You enable SSL on particular component depending on your requirement & component which is accessible over Internet & should be secured. You can Implement across all three component or only one or any two.<\/p>\n

What is common deployment for Internet Facing Oracle Applications ?<\/strong>
\nThough you can configure SSL for Web, Forms & database for extra Security but Usually most prone & Internet facing component is Web Server (For Self Service Applications) so common trend is to Enable SSL between Client Machine & Web Server (Apache) in Oracle Applications.<\/p>\n

What will happen w.r.t. Data communication after enabling SSL ?<\/strong>
\nBy default you access Applications over HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) but after enabling SSL on web server you will access via HTTPS<\/strong> (Secure) . Data will be encrypted at one end & decrypted at other end.<\/p>\n
