# TLS Support for Oracle Database

The Oracle Database connector supports TLS communication. While SailPoint internally supports TLS version 1.2, it can communicate with the Oracle Database source using any version of TLS the source supports. To use a TLS-based connection for the Oracle Database connector, ensure that you have completed the following.

- Save the Oracle Server certificates on the virtual appliance at location `/home/sailpoint/certificates` and restart the CCG.
- Provide the `PROTOCOL`, `HOST`, `PORT`, and `SERVICE_NAME` parameters in Oracle database application URL in the following format:

  ```text
  jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcps)(HOST=<host_name>)(PORT=<port number>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = <service_name>)))
  ```

  For example:

  ```text
  jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcps)(HOST=WIN-0PR71D80V83)(PORT=2500))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = orcx)))
  ```
