Re: [Q] security between Cold fusion and oracle database?

2002-08-28 Thread Alexandre Gorbatchev

One of the most important rules - to use difficult/criptic passwords. That's
true for any system. Simple passwords - 90% of succesful attaks. You can set
up you own procedure to check quality of passwords in Oracle.

Re[2]: [Q] security between Cold fusion and oracle database?

2002-08-27 Thread dgoulet

Take a close look at your firewall software.  Many vendors have an Oracle
SQL*Net configuration that will only allow a SQL*Net connection on the port of
choice.  This I have seen is rather effective as a telnet request is rejected
quickly.

Basic firewall rule 
make sure your firewall rules only allow trusted servers to access ports 
or in this case make sure the host that is the coldfusion server is the 
only one allowed to connect on that port.

and changing the port to a non default value will assist. it is no 
guarantee of security. It will just take them a lot longer to work out 
what is on the other side of the firewall at that port.

Cheers

ORACLE server their has firewall on it.  The firewall only open port 1521
