Dear list !
I have just been asked the following question: is it possible to make a connection from an Oracle client to an Oracle instance (both are 8.1.7) in an "encrypted" way. I.e. if someone is sitting with a sniffer between the server and the client, then i don't want him to be able to see the user/passwd i'm connecting with. Again , i am NOT asking how store the data in the DB in an "encrypted" way, but how to connect to an instance without showing my passwd. Thanks a lot!
Andrey.
