Configuring the Infrastructure Management Server to Oracle database communication to enable TLS 1.2

Perform the following steps to configure the Infrastructure Management Server to Oracle database communication to enable TLS 1.2 mode:

To configure the Infrastructure Management Server to Oracle database communication to enable TLS 1.2

Perform the following steps to enable the Infrastructure Management Server to Oracle database communication to be TLS compliant:

1. Stop the Infrastructure Management Server by running the following command:

   pw system stop

2. Navigate to the <Infrastructure Management Server Install Directory>\pw\pronto\bin directory, and run the switchTLSMode.pl script as shown in the following code block:

   #Syntax
   perl switchTLSMode.pl -<on/off> -flow <communication channel> -dbport <Oracle Database port> -dbver <Oracle Database version>
   
   #Example
   perl switchTLSMode.pl -on -flow oracle –dbport 1521 -dbver 11G

   Parameter description

   The following notes describe the key parameters used in the preceding command:
   

   • -on/off: on option enables TLS mode of communication. off option disables TLS mode of communication and enables the default tcp/ssl mode of communication.
   • -flow: This variable can have two options: event_and_data,oracle. If flow is set to oracle, the communication between the Infrastructure Management Server and the Oracle database is TLS 1.2 enabled.
   • -dbport: Provide the port number that is configured for the Oracle database communication.
   • -dbver: Provide the Oracle database version. There are two compatible Oracle database versions: 11G, 12C

3. Start the Infrastructure Management Server by running the following command:

   pw system start
