Configure TLS in Oracle with NetBackup IT Analytics on Windows in non-split architecture

In a non-split architecture, the database and portal are on the same system.

Step 1: Configure Oracle wallet on the server side.

Create a directory on the server system to store the server wallet as server_wallet. Run the make directory command below at C:\opt\oracle\network\ folder.
```
mkdir C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet
```

Create an empty wallet for the Oracle server with auto login enabled.

orapki wallet create -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet" -pwd <password> -auto_login

Add a self-signed certificate in the wallet (a new pair of private/public keys is created).

orapki wallet add -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet" -pwd <password> -dn "CN=<server_machine_name>" -keysize 2048 -self_signed -validity <# of Days>

Check the contents of the wallet. Notice the self-signed certificate is both a user and trusted certificate.
```
orapki wallet display -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet" -pwd <password>
```

Export the certificate so it can be loaded into the client wallet later.

orapki wallet export -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet" -pwd <password> -dn "CN=<server_machine_name>" -cert C:\opt\oracle\network\client_wallet\<server-certificate-name>.crt

Check whether the certificate has been exported to the above directory.
Make sure the Oracle service user can access the wallet file cwallet.sso (READ permission).

Step 2: Configure Oracle wallet for client application.

Login as oracle user.
```
su - aptare
```
Create a directory on the client system to store the client wallet. Call it client _wallet. Create it under the /opt/aptare/oracle/network folder.
```
mkdir C:\opt\oracle\network\client_wallet
```

Create a wallet of the oracle client. Create an empty wallet with auto login enabled.

orapki wallet create -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\client_wallet" -pwd <password> -auto_login

Step 3: Load server certificate into the client wallet.

Load the server certificate into the client wallet

orapki wallet add -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\client_wallet" -pwd <password> -trusted_cert -cert C:\opt\oracle\network\client_wallet\<server-certificate-name>.crt

Check the contents of the client wallet. Note that the server certificate is now included in the list of trusted certificates.
```
orapki wallet display -wallet "C:\opt\oracle\network\client_wallet" -pwd <password>
```

Step 4: Configure the Oracle database to listen for TCPS connection: Configure the listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files on the database server using the following steps. In these steps, host is the oracle server IP address and the server wallet location is /opt/aptare/oracle/network/server_wallet.

Stop the Oracle listener before updating the files.
```
lsnrctl stop
```

Modify the listener.ora (C:\opt\oracle\network\admin\listener.ora)

LISTENER = 
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST = 
       (DESCRIPTION = 
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC)) 
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCPS)(HOST = xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT = 2484)) 
        ) 
   )

Add below line at the end of file:

SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION = FALSE 
		SECURE_PROTOCOL_LISTENER=(IPC) 
     WALLET_LOCATION = 
       (SOURCE = 
       (METHOD = FILE) 
       (METHOD_DATA = 
         (DIRECTORY = C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet) 
       ) 
     )

C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet

Modify the tnsnames.ora (C:\opt\oracle\network\admin\tnsnames.ora).

SCDB = 
   (DESCRIPTION = 
      (ADDRESS= 
        (PROTOCOL=TCPS) 
        (HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx) 
        (PORT=2484) 
      ) 
      (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=scdb)(SID=SCDB)) 
   )

Start the Oracle listener.
```
lsnrctl start
```
Check the listener status
```
lsnrctl status
```
Test the Oracle connection using sqlplus.
```
sqlplus username/password@service_name
```

Step 5: Load oracle server wallet certificate to the portal and upgrader Java KeyStore.

Add server certificate in portal Java.

cd C:\opt\jre\bin 
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias ora_server_cert -file 
C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet\server-cert-db.crt -keystore 
C:\opt\jre\lib\security\cacerts 
cd C:\opt\jdk\bin  
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias ora_server_cert -file 
C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet\server-cert-db.crt -keystore 
C:\opt\jdk\lib\security\cacerts 
password: changeit

Add server certificate in upgrader Java

cd C:\opt\aptare\upgrade\jre\bin 
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias ora_server_cert -file 
C:\opt\oracle\network\server_wallet\server-cert-db.crt -keystore 
C:\opt\aptare\upgrade\jre\lib\security\cacerts 
password: changeit

Step 6: Modify connection URL in the portal and receiver property file.

Stop portal and agent services.

Modify database URL in C:\opt\aptare\portalconf\portal.properties.

db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)
(HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT=2484))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=SCDB)))

Modify database URL in C:\opt\aptare\datarcvrconf\datrarcvrproperties.xml.

<URL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)
(HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT=2484))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=SCDB)))</URL>

Start portal and agent services.
