We are trying to connect to 3 different Oracle databases using MS
Access as the front-end and ODBC as the connection. The problem that
we are having is that 1 of the databases requires a CRYPTO_SEED. With
the sqlnet.ora file configured for the encryption, the other 2
databases won't connect and vise versa. Is there a way to make the
connections use encryption when required and not use it when not
required.
We are using 9i client version 9.2 and it's ODBC driver (also tried
getting the latest driver from Oracle on one machine).
NOTE: We have 3 machines set up that work, but the main difference
with those machines is that they use 9i version 9.01. I don't want to
have to use that version if at all possible. If that's the problem,
then I will have this problem again in the furture. I don't want to
just postpone the problem. All machines (including the ones that
work) use the same sqlnet.ora file.
sqlnet.ora:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (BEQ,NTS,NONE)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME, ONAMES)
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = accepted
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_CLIENT = (DES40, RC4_56)
SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = {left out here}
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = accepted
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_CLIENT = (MD5)
Does any of the experts have any idea. I am definately not an expert
when it comes to Oracle.
