Hi,
if I am reading Note 1340831.1 correctly, in order to secure the communication
between pmon and the scan listeners, we'll need to use SSL.

There is a note about _licensing changes_:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Please refer to the Oracle licensing documentation available on
Oracle.com regarding licensing changes that allow Oracle Advanced
Security SSL/TLS to be used with Oracle SE Oracle Real Application
Clusters and Oracle Enterprise Edition Real Application Customers
(Oracle RAC) and Oracle RAC OneNode Options.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to understand if we need to buy the Advanced Security
option in order to fix the issue (I hope we don't ...).

Can anybody throw some light on this?


Thanks
Dimitre
