Secure Installation with HTTPS

By default, the Oracle LSH and Oracle DMW installation is configured to use HTTPS, which requires the use of a trusted signed certificate.

You can use HTTPS to encrypt and protect communication between the client desktop and the Oracle LSH and Oracle DMW application server. You can also configure the transmission of data from source systems and Oracle LSH and Oracle DMW to use encrypted communication protocols.

You can install Oracle LSH and Oracle DMW to use HTTP, but Oracle recommends that you use HTTPS with data encryption using Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 and a trusted signed certificate.
