Encryption trace when connecting from JDBC

Question

Hello,
Please can any one let me know that, How can I trace the JDBC connection using encryption comeing from client to database
I have enabled ASO, on both Server & Client, I can trace net8 connection for example connecting from sqlplus, and I can make sure that from the trace sqlplus connections are encrypted, but for JDBC connection do we have anything like above so that I can trace and say that all connections are encrypted. If anybody can throw light on this.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Regards,
Swamy.

hi
are u not able to enable tracing programatically.
if so
i think i now have an idea of using jdbc with aso.
the following params need to be set in sqlnet.ora to enable tracing, when u configure server and client for ASO using Net8.
TRACE_LEVEL_SERVER
TRACE_DIRECTORY_SERVER
similarly u need to set these params programatticallym using properties collection in jdbc.
check the sample below. u can use this as a sample to set the above params.
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
try {
int level = AnoServices.REQUIRED;
props.put("user","...");
props.put("password","XXXXXXX");
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_client",
Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "DES56C");
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client",
Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "MD5");
} catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
// You can put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:database_name", props);
