SSL Usage Issues
Consider the following issues when using SSL:
7-14 Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide
SSL use enables secure communication with other Oracle products, such as
Oracle Internet Directory.
Because SSL supports both authentication and encryption, the client/server
connection is somewhat slower than the standard Oracle Net TCP/IP transport
(using native encryption).
Each SSL authentication mode requires configuration settings.
Note:
U.S. government regulations prohibit double encryption.
Accordingly, if you configure Oracle Advanced Security to use
SSL encryption and another encryption method concurrently,
the connection fails (you also cannot configure SSL
authentication concurrently with non-SSL authentication).
If you configure SSL encryption, you must disable non-SSL
encryption. To disable such encryption, see:
Advanced Security Authentication"
