Configure Password Authentication for an Oracle Names Server

An Oracle Names server can be configured with security. This way, sensitive operations, such as restarting and stopping the Oracle Names server, used from the Oracle Names Control utility will require a password. Oracle Net Manager enables you to set an encrypted password.

To set a password for the Oracle Names server:

  1. In the navigator pane, expand Oracle Net Configuration > Oracle Names Servers.

  2. Select the Oracle Names server.

  3. From the list in the right pane, select Configure Server.

  4. Select the General tab.

  5. Choose Change Password.

  6. Enter the password in the New Password field.

  7. Confirm the password in the Confirm New Password field.

  8. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
