Configuring Security Between Clients and Servers

Oracle Unified Directory provides several mechanisms to secure traffic between the client and the server. The topics in this section describe these mechanisms, and how to configure them.

For information about securing access to directory data, see Chapter 9, Controlling Access To Data.

For information about configuring security between the Oracle Unified Directory proxy and the directory server or data source, see Chapter 5, Configuring Security Between the Proxy and the Data Source.

This chapter covers the following topics:
