Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Any SSH libraries out there for Oracle DB?
As part of an application to automate server management, I need the ability
to access servers via secure shell in order to execute shell commands /
scripts, and also the ability to receive connections from servers via ssh.
One partial solution I have created is a custom agent that uses the Java J2SSH package, which I access via the Oracle UTL_TCP package. Basically, it listens for connections from Oracle via UTL_TCP and acts as a relay/protocol converter to the target ssh server.
The problem is, the Oracle UTL_TCP package can only initiate connections, it cannot listen for them, so I can only achieve client functionality using this setup.
What I'd really like to find is an Oracle-specific library that can function as ssh server and client. Anyone know of such a beastie out there? My googling so far has led me to the conclusion that there isn't anything out there like this. Received on Thu Mar 23 2006 - 10:17:49 CST
