PHP ORACLE SSL ?

Greetings,

I am writing a web application using PHP. I want to use PEAR::DB to connect
to user database.
I want the connection to be secured using SSL.

Does oci8.sl (php oracle dblibrary) support SSL connection to Oracle Server
?

I know we can securely connect to MYSQL server using PEAR::DB && SSL.
Is it possible to estable secure connection to oracle server using PHP ?

Best Regards
Simha

If you're using pear, the pear guys would be able to help a lot more:

You may also want to consider using stunnel to encrypt your oracle traffic.

The network protocols used by Oracle can encrypt and/or checksum data
transfers between Oracle library calls in PHP's oci8 extension and the
database server.

See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/network.101/b10 772/asoconfg.htm#1006342
The useful bits are at the bottom of that page where the sample
sqlnet.ora files are given (just above tables 3-2 and 3-3). In effect
all you need to do is add a couple of configuration lines and restart
the network listener to get encrypted traffic. Check your license too:
the Advanced Security Option (ASO) is probably a separately licensble
product.

Re: PHP ORACLE SSL ?

Thanks all for your replies.

So to secure the connection between oracle server and PHP oci8 client, we
have to modify the sqlnet.ora shipped with oracle product ,as suggested by
christopher in his reply, and no API or interface is avaialble to do the
same via PHP .

In the same manual suggested by Chris, I found a link to secure oracle
connection using SSL . (
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/network.101/b10 772/asossl.htm#1006120).
