It's still possible to do with JDBC thin and Oracle ASO. You will use oracle.net package to set properties and open a DB connection with that properties object. Like: Properties props = new Properties(); try { props.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED"); props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "RC4_40 "); props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client","REQUESTED"); props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", " MD5 "); props.put("user", "scott"); props.put("password","tiger"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbhost:1521:orcl", props); On Thu, 23 Dec 2004 08:23:05 -0000, Johnson, George <GJohnson@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > We have been told by our auditors, that all SQL*Net traffic must now > be encrypted to prevent snooping!
