Oracle RAC listener password protection

LANCERIQUENov 6 2012 — edited Nov 7 2012
Dear Gurus,

We have 2 node RAC setup 11gR2 and as a part of hardening we wish to set password for listener.
Can some one please guide how can we set password on listener that registered with CRS. What would be the impact if any?

Also, there are two things with which should be noted.

1) We are not using SCAN feature.
2) Listener created should be owned by oracle user but all listener are getting started by Grid.

Node 1 -

ps -ef | grep -i tns
root 125 2 0 Oct30 ? 00:00:00 [netns]
ora11g 35141 73510 0 12:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -i tns
grid 41763 1 0 Nov04 ? 00:00:05 /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit
grid 49634 1 0 Nov04 ? 00:00:05 /u01/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER_REMCORP1 -inherit


Node 2 -
ps -ef | grep -i tns
root 125 2 0 Oct30 ? 00:00:00 [netns]
ora11g 33783 33742 0 12:50 pts/1 00:00:00 grep -i tns
grid 49817 1 0 Nov04 ? 00:00:05 /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit
grid 56446 1 0 Nov04 ? 00:00:05 /u01/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER_REMCORP2 -inherit
