Re: connection manager

Connection manager is essentially a proxy server for SQL Net connections, and is most often used to allow connectivity through a firewall. This is because SQL Net tends to randomly choose ports over which to communicate - and would thus require a plethora of firewall holes in order to operate successfully. Connection manager gets installed as part of the database networking infrastructure.

So here's a link to get you started:

Hope this helps.
