Our organisation has a security policy based on NT domains. We
have found that SQL*Net configured to use TCP/IP allows users to see
databases on machines outside their domains and in contravention of any
trust relationships. We switched the configuration to use Named Pipes and
security was restored, but at a cost. The network performance over a WAN
slowed by a factor of two and we found that Enterprise Manager was not
supported using Named Pipes. Is there a product, NT add-on which will allow
use to use SQL*Net configured with TCP/IP and which will support NT domain
security? Is there a product like Enterprise Manager which can run over
SQL*Net using Named Pipes( CA-Unicentre, BMC Patrol, Ecosystems)? Any
feedback on the memtion products greatly appreciated.
