Secure connection between Oracle client and Oracle Server - communication

I wanted to do secure communication between Oracle client and Oracle server.
Oracle version: 11g
Whether anyone know how to configure secure communication with Oracle server and client?
What are the configuration need to be done?
Thanks
Santhosh

The following documents show how to do this

example with gui and how to steps to prove encryption
EDIT
I have never configured the thin client for this but the documentation for how to is here

Azure Hybrid Connections to onsite SQL Server with a Linux PHP WebApp - sanity check

Okay, I feel I'm pretty good at problem solving but I'm stumped! I can't get connectivity to the SQL Server via the Hybrid Connector or directly.
System Overview:
1x Linux PHP Based WebApp with all the correct SQLSRV libraries working (using a azure sql server I can get the webapp working fine, but need to use our onsite server for the time being)
1x Onsite SQL Server (win2012, sql version 11.0.7), which has an external static IP (and FQDN) and exposed to the internet on port 1433 (I can use SMSS from an external IP to connect and manage the server - with that IP added to the firewall that is..)
So firstly - trying to connect via PHP / SQLSRV directly to the server doesn't work (even if I allow all internet traffic to connect to the server via the firewall) - which is odd as SMSS works. The server is Win2012 and TLS 1.2 is enabled - but I get Error code 0x2746. Investigating this, I think its something to do with openssl 1.1.1 and SQL Server still only using SHA1 - I modified the openssl.cnf file to SECLEVEL=1 - still not dice.
So I've proceeded to setup the Hybrid connections using port 1433 using internal machine name say 'SERVER01' for the endpoint - everything says connected on both the azure hybrid screen and also on the connection manager on the server. I can telnet from SERVER01 to the service endpoint bus and from SSH on the WebApp I can ping the hybrid end point 'SERVER01:443'
But trying to connect to the database from PHP using SQLSRV it timeouts.
Anyone got any pointers? I'm thinking its due to the old onsite server being too old (Win2012) and the SSL SHA1 issues.

Perfino- How to monitor Oracle http server 11g

I have q requirement of monitoring the OHS server using the perfino. Could you please let me know how to configure this?..
The Oracle HTTP Server is based on the Apache HTTP server. It is not written in Java and cannot be monitored by perfino.

Connect to a ODBC DSN installed on a server

I am developing an application in Delphi 10.2.3 which connects to a Firebird database installed on a machine running Windows 2016 Server. The application also connects to QuickBooks Online using a third party ODBC driver. Since this application must be accessed by 12+ users in my company, it will not be cost effective to purchase and install individual ODBC drivers for each user.
The provider of the ODBC driver has a version which can be installed on a server. Is it possible to configure an ODBC DNS connection on the server which I can access from network clients? If not, can anyone suggest a workaround.
Server vs Workstation ODBC driver usually has to do with licensing not connection method. It is always running on the same machine as the software using the connection.
Web application used by many users running on a server connecting through an ODBC driver = server licensed version of the driver.
User loading data into Excel on their computer through an ODBC driver
= client / workstation licensed driver.
Some databases, for example SQL Server, can do a database link through an ODBC driver. This is linking / exposing another database to querying from a host database server. This would allow you to share one server licensed driver. The clients would connect to the host database.
One such driver is DevArt's ODBC Driver for QuickBooks which has a help topic on creating a linked database and testing it in SQL Server Management Studio / SQL Server: Using in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Might not be applicable if each user needs to use different credentials for the QuickBooks connection.

How hard is it to enable TFS to use SSL?

How hard is it to enable TFS to start using secure connections, if its not already? Does doing so affect SQL configuration also? How can we force SSL to be required?
Im looking over this reference material
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833872%28v=vs.120%29.aspx#DisAd
Reading the above, I get the impression that MS is trying to discourage someone from using SSL for TFS over the internet?
Then I stumbled on to this blocg post
http://www.jwsecure.com/2009/01/29/using-tfs-via-the-internet/
Summary = just get a ssl cert and force ssl and port-forward a high port to 443
thoughts?
Firstly, the MSDN article you posted above shows you the detailed steps on how to set up HTTPS with SSL for TFS. To summarize main steps include:
Install a certification authority, obtain and install a server certificate for servers.
Request, install and configure websites with a certificate for Team Foundation Server using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Configure Team Foundation Server to require HTTPS and SSL.
Install the certificate on client computers.
You can also check this walkthrough: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833873.aspx
Secondly, you don't need to configure SQL Server. But if you have SQL Reporting Service, you need to configure it to support HTTPS with SSL.
Thirdly, to enable TFS to be available with external connections, you need to configure it with HTTPS with SSL. Also with it, web connections to TFS are more secure. However, these process needs more administrator's configuration & maintenance work. So you need to determine whether to use it based on your requirement.

JDBC access to Azure database

Using the Azure SDK for iOS, I have an app writing to the database. I'm now trying to configure a query using ODBC and Excel. As I'm on a Mac, only JDBC is an option.
JDBC connection only gives "Network error IOException: Connection refused"
I have setup up the Azure firewall settings for the machine IP.
Anyone with any Azure/iOS dev experience?
Thanks
Martin
Please use Microsoft JDBC Driver and make sure your connection string conforms SQL Azure Connection string. Required properties are:
Encrypt=True
Trusted_Connection=false
Database=[database name]
You shall have no issues with this setup.
