Re: Oracle and Firewall

Hi:

We use a firewall from ANS, and we've installed a SQL*Net proxy from the same vendor, which seems to work very well. (Oracle made the specifications for SQL*Net firewall proxies available to the major firewall vendors.) You might want to check and see if the IBM firewall has a SQL*Net proxy available.

Good luck,
