Implementing SSL

SSL uses a cryptographic system that encrypts data. SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which data can be sent securely.

To secure your Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System environment, secure all communication channels used by your web applications and user directory connections using SSL. See SSL-Enabling EPM System Components.

Additionally, protect all agent ports, for example, port 6861, which is the Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis agent port, using a firewall. End-users do not need to access EPM System agent ports.
