Description
Oracle Node Manager is the utility that is used to perform common operational tasks for OHS. For connections to be made to the Node Manager, it must listen on an assigned address. When this parameter is not set, the Node Manager will listen on all available addresses on the server. This may lead to the Node Manager listening on networks, i.e., public network space, where Node Manager may become susceptible to attack instead of being limited to listening for connections on a controlled and secure management network. It is also important that the address specified matches the CN of the Node Manager.
