Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Configuration Of TCP/IP With SSL/TLS For GDS (GSM OCI MODE)

The GSM  interface cli (GDSCTL) uses thin driver (default) and GSM uses ANO encryption (default) for secure connection.

To implement TLS v1.2, we can't have double encryption stacks, thus, ANO must be disabled.

The below procedure is the workaround by using OCI thick driver.
