We have Oracle Analytics Cloud configured in our tenancy in OCI Ashburn and through private access channels we access data source Exadata cloud service currently with out using any TLS.

Does the security Update For Oracle Analytics (Doc ID 3029871.1) will impact us in anyway? since we are yet utilizing TLS for data sources in our cloud.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards,

Sridhar

    If you aren't using a TLS connection, the change in TLS connections will not affect you. The change is that they will "force" to use newer/recent versions and probably desupport old versions (TLS 1.0 and 1.1 I imagine).

    If you have connection using TLS, you should perform the test documented to check if they will be good (should be TLS 1.2 or 1.3).

    The validation is only needed if you are using TLS based connections to the datasource. The validation is to check openssl3.x connectivity for all TLS connections. In the January Update of OAC there will be a new System Setting called 'TLS Connection Mode' which will be set to 'Legacy' by default. This setting will make the existing connections work but recommendation is to ensure openssl3 connectivity working and switch 'TLS Connection Mode' to Advanced (this setting will go away in March update). Again none of this applicable for non TLS connections.

    Thanks
