Thanks,
So in a standard RAC configuration, as scan listener and local listener are
running from grid_home, then the sqlnet.ora used will be grid_home one.
But if you have scan listener on grid_home and a non-default local listener
running from db_home, then you will need to configure both sqlnet.ora.
Is that correct?

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

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
