It all depends on which home you have the listener running out of and which
home you are using if you make local connections to your database.
Shamelss plug, but I have a blog post on this very topic:

Thanks, but not really useful as the mos defines the listener parameters in
grid_home and the sqlnet.ora in db_home.
For example on this doc
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/12.2/netrf/parameters-for-the-sqlnet-ora-file.html#GUID-CF0CE176-074D-4017-93EC-25EB2C014B72

it specifies on the parameter tcp.validnode_cheking:
"This is important in an Oracle RAC environment where the listener runs out
of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home. Setting the parameter in the database
home does not have any effect in Oracle RAC environments."
but sqlnet.encryption_server that is one of the ones I want to configure
nothing is clarified only the 4 possible parameters.
My understanding is that using grid_home sqlnet.ora has logic has client
connects using the scan, that is redirect to the local listener, but then is
the local listener that handles the connection with the client, so if it uses
the db_home sqlnet.ora and sqlnet.encryption_server is not defined, is the
encryption not used?
Softlink can be a solution, but not easy to implement in my env for several
reason, so will like to verify if need to apply the parameters to only one
sqlnet.ora or both.

its ideal to have softlink between grid_home and oracle_home sqlnet.ora
The mos note has detailed info -- Doc ID 1448841.1

Thanks, but based on?
Everything been reading points to ORACLE_HOME, but unclear about if that
means grid_home.
Can you point me to a doc/whitepaper or something like that?

Hi,
Trying to configure network encryption in a RAC at server level, but confused
about the need to configure the parameters in grid_home sqlnet.ora at all or
only db_home sqlnet.ora. Can someone help me clarify it?
Thanks
