ODP.NET

Hello folks,

I was wondering if we can use ODP.NET with SSL? Basically, we'd like to do the following: after login in a .NET Windows Form, we use a DB connection designated for authentication purposes only, and send the user credentials. As a response from the DB, we get an authentication token that contains all the parts needed to dynamically build the connection string for all business queries.

We need to make sure that the authentication token is passed in a secured manner from the server to the client. How can we do this with Oracle 10g, ODP.NET 10g, WinXP, Windows Forms .NET 3.5 client application?

We'd like to leverage the ODP.NET connection pooling and proxy authentication as well.

I found numerous references to how to configure SSL on the Oracle Server, Wallets, etc, but nothing is mentioned about ODP.NET and SSL, and essentially securing communication between client and server through ODP.NET.

Can you point me to any relevant resources regarding this question? Thanks.

Regards,
