The listener can be configured with security. This way, privileged operations, such as saving configuration changes or stopping the listener, used from LSNRCTL will require a password. Net8 Assistant enables you to set an unencrypted password.

To set a password for the listener:

1. In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Local > Listeners.

2. Select a listener.

3. From the list in the right pane, select General Parameters.

4. Select the Authentication tab.

5. Choose Require a Password for Listener Operations.

6. Enter the password in the Password field, and re-enter it in the Confirm Password field.

7. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.

Note: Encrypted passwords can be set with the LSNRCTL CHANGE PASSWORD command. For further information about this command, see Appendix B, Control Utilities, in the Net8 Administrator's Guide.
