If you specify USE_SHARED_SOCKET in registry for your Oracle home and
restart the listener, the 1521 port can be shared between both listener and
database connections (in case of dedicated server).
That way you won't have port problems with firewall.

problem?

Hi Seema,
Take a look on this document #131524.1 on Metalink.
You will have to add an entry in the registry to force the connection to
only use the port 1521
USE_SHARED_SOCKET=TRUE

Hi,
We
Seema,
This is a typical misconception on the workings of Net8. Port 1521 is only
used to contact the listener, after that the listener might:
a) create a server process which listens on a port other than 1521 OR
b) pass the connection to a prespawned server process, again on a different
port.
Arup Nanda scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:
(1) use firewall around the subnet where both app/web server and db
server exist; not a firewall between them.
(2) Use TCP Node checking to restrict Net8 traffic to the db server
only from the app server.
(3) Use Connection Manager. USing
