General Parameters: Authentication

The Authentication tab enables you to configure security for a listener. This way, privileged operations, such as saving configuration changes or stopping the listener, issued from the Listener Control utility will require a password. The Oracle Net Manager enables you to set an encrypted password.

Choose to disable authentication for administrator tasks.

Require a Password for Listener Operations
