Open database (port 1521) to internet
All,
General question. Have an application server in Amazon EC2 and it wants to access our production database in our office. We can open port 1521 on our firewall and let the traffic through directly to the database but was wondering how safe this is. Is there any documents out there that discuss this and give some best practices? Is anyone doing what we are trying to do and how do they do it safely. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Eric
