Hi all, I have Oracle Server Installed on RHEL on an IBM Server.I want to restrict access to oracle from specific machines on the network.I tried denying access to the SQLNET service by adding an entry into the /etc/hosts.deny file,but it isn't working.Now I don't know how to achieve this.I'll be greatful if anyone on the list helps me out ith this. Regards, SD.
your approach should be....
1.you should deny for SQLNET service for all users in host.deny and then in host.allow give access to specific users.
2. make sure this service is under xinetd and if not then host.allow or deny file will not work as you want.
3. if 1 not work and this service is under xinetd.d then open file related to sqlnet service and there in section where disable = no is mentioned there in the list you can specify the directive--- only_from = host/network range.
i hoope this will work otherwise mail if required...
