Establishing a Per-Session SSL Connection
Oracle Essbase components; for example, MaxL, can control SSL at session level by connecting to Essbase Agent using secure
as the transport keyword. For example, you can establish a secure connection between MaxL and Essbase Agent by executing one of the following commands from a MaxL Console:
login admin example_password on hostA:PORT:secure
login admin example_password on hostA:secure
Per-session control takes priority over configuration settings specified in essbase.cfg
. If no transport keyword is specified, Essbase clients use the value set for ClientPreferredMode
to determine whether to initiate a secure connection with Essbase. If the ClientPreferredMode
setting is not set to secure, the communication occurs over a nonsecure channel.
