Re: SSL connection with DBD::Oracle?

If you can connect via ssh (not SSL, that's an additional layer inside application protocols), you could use port forwarding.

For a basic setup, try running one of the following commands:

ssh user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -L 1521:remote.machine:1521
ssh user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -L 1521:127.0.0.1:1521

This will forward TCP port 1521 to your local machine, i.e. you can connect to localhost:1521 instead of remote.machine:1521 as long as the ssh connection stays open. See man ssh for more details. If you do not want to enter a password every time you connect, use a public key in $HOME/.ssh/autorized_hosts on the remote machine and ssh-agent on the local machine.

For Oracle's own SSL, <http://lbd.epfl.ch/f/teaching/courses/oracle8i/network.815/a67766/09_ssl.htm> may help.

I need to connect to an Oracle db on a remote machine, on the local network, that only supports ssl connections. Is there a way to do this using DBD::Oracle? Is there some other way to do this?

Any assistance appreciated.
