Oracle8i Typical or Minimal Installation

During a Typical installation of the server, JServer is installed and configured for you. You automatically receive configuration for an MTS database with session-based IIOP connections through the listener using non-SSL TCP/IP.

After the typical install is complete, the following line is added to your database initialization file:

mts_dispatchers="(protocol=tcp)(presentation=oracle.aurora.server.SGiopServer)"

If, instead, you installed the Advanced Security Option and you want the SSL-based TCP/IP connection, edit your database initialization file to remove the hash mark (#) from the following line:

mts_dispatchers="(protocol=tcps)(presentation=oracle.aurora.server.SGiopServer)"

Note: The (protocol=tcps) attribute identifies the connection as SSL-enabled.

In addition, the listener is configured for IIOP. The following is placed within your listener.ora file:

listener=

	(description_list =

		(description=

			(address=(...)

			(protocol_stack=

				(presentation=GIOP)

				(session=RAW)

			)

		)

	)

After configuration, the client directs its request to a URL that includes the host and port, which identifies the listener, and either the SID or database service name, which identifies the database. The following shows the syntax for this request:

session_iiop://<hostname>/:<portnumber>/:<SID | service_name>
