IIOP Security

Security involves data integrity, authentication, and authorization.

• For data integrity, Oracle8i enables your application to use IIOP over a secure socket layer (SSL).

• For authentication, your application can choose between providing a username/password combination or a certificate.

• For authorization, you can choose the level of trust points that any incoming clients will be required to give.
