Adapter Software Configuration
Configuration for the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Switching Adapter comes from the following sources:
• CES_PARAMETERS database table
• Oracle Utilities Network Management System configuration rules
• JBot Commands
This section includes the following topics:
 
Support for Encrypted Configuration Parameters
Some configuration parameters that are stored in the CES_PARAMETERS database table contain sensitive information, such as authentication credentials, which should be protected. To protect this data, the VALUES column can be encrypted using Oracle WebLogic Server encrypt utility. This utility encrypts cleartext strings for use with Oracle WebLogic Server. Its output can then be used to populate values in CES_PARAMETERS database table.
For detailed information, see "encrypt" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Command Reference.
