        We have been told by our auditors, that all SQL*Net traffic must now be encrypted to prevent snooping! We have one or two commercial JDBC apps using Thin connection methods. I suspect the answer is no, but other than programmatically within the code, is there any way to allow JDBC thin apps to utilise encrypted SQL*Net links to the DB listeners? I know OCI can as it gets to read the SQLNET.ORA configuration, but if I understand correctly, thin is entirely "standalone".

        Apologies in advance, I have only recently started "playing" with JDBC coding for my personal interest, so my knowledge of the technology may not be entirely correct.

	Rgds
