Security for federation

You can increase the security of federated systems and reduce the maintenance.

Security for federated servers
The federated server supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for data encryption, as well as HTTP and SOCKS proxies for specific data sources.
Public user mappings
To ensure the security of your federated server there are restrictions for using public user mappings to access your data sources.
Federated trusted contexts and trusted connections
Enhance system performance and minimize or completely reduce the use and maintenance of user mappings.
Label-based access control (LBAC) and federated systems
Ensure that only users who have the appropriate authority can see the data in a table.
External user mapping repositories
Store user mappings in an external repository for multiple federated servers to share, and reduce the administrative maintenance of managing user mappings that are stored on each federated server.
Oracle security in a federated system
Federation supports a set of Oracle security features.
Oracle label security
The federated server supports Oracle Label Security, which you can use to secure data and ensure that only users with the appropriate authority can see it.
Oracle proxy authentication and federated trusted contexts
Create a physical connection to the Oracle data source, and then switch the connection to a different user on the same connection.
