The SSL tab allows you to modify Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings. SSL stores authentication data, such as certificates and private keys, in an Oracle Wallet. When the client initiates a Net8 connection to the server, SSL performs a handshake between the two using the private key and certificate. The server may then send its own certificate to the client in a message encrypted with the client’s public key. The client decrypts this message by using its own private key, then verifies that the server’s certificate bears the certificate authority’s signature
