3 Secure Network Communication in TimesTen

Some features in TimesTen, such as client/server and replication, support Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure network communication between TimesTen instances.

TimesTen supports TLS protocol version 1.2 and its associated cipher suites. A cipher suite is a set of authentication, encryption, and data integrity algorithms used for exchanging messages between network entities. In this case, the network entities are the TimesTen Client and the TimesTen Server.

TLS configuration in TimesTen does not apply to communication between TimesTen and Oracle Database, such as when cache is used. Secure TimesTen-Oracle communications can be configured through settings in the sqlnet.ora file used for connections to Oracle Database. Refer to Configuring Transport Layer Security Authentication in Oracle Database Security Guide.
