About enabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) enables secure communications between servers.

Enabling SSL is optional. However, Oracle recommends that you enable SSL for all Oracle InForm installations.

If you choose to use SSL, you must set up your environment to support SSL on all servers, and then you must enable SSL to be active in each study.

If you are using Cognos Reporting:

• You can enable SSL on the Oracle InForm servers when you install the Oracle InForm core software.
• You can enable SSL on the Reporting servers after you install them, or wait until after the Cognos installations are complete, and then enable SSL on all of the servers.
