I have a developer trying to connect to an Oracle SQL database from within
my Cisco PIX (doing PAT) firewall using SQL *Plus.
The outbound connection is permitted to the database server, but the
returning connection is denied because of 'no connection'
I tried a few things with the fixup protocol support for sqlnet, and I
searched the archives and Cisco's website a bit, but have not come up with
any solid leads.
If anyone has any pointers please let me know.
The SQL *Plus client either says no initiator or no connection. The SQL
database is configured to listen to the IP address the data is leaving my
network as (my global PAT addresss).
...wait a minute.... if the fixup protocol is striping/replacing ip
addresses inside the packet, could the database think the connection is
coming from his internal private ip address instead of my global PAT
address? help!
