ASO should work here, although I've not used it personally (apparently it's rather expensive). It's certainly not the only option, however. I've used OpenSSH's tunneling capabilities for this purpose, for example, but there are a number of other utilities which can do more-or-less the same thing (stunnel, VPNs, etc.). This sort of thing requires the use of CMAN on the DB server, but is fairly trivial to set up.

The question was posed to me about a simple web browser (non ssl), accessing an oracle database and shooting the information across the internet to a client, this info is NOT encrypted i assume.

is that also true for like remote sqlplus connections and if you wanted it to be for web, you need to go via SSL and for sqlplus what can be used? Is this where ASO comes in(i think thats is, advanced security option?)

thanks, joe
