Oracle clients

A short list:
  • dbVisualizer
  • Toad
  • Oracle SQL Developer

Example ssh config

Host [alias]
    HostName [remote hostname]
    User [remote username]
    IdentityFile [file]

[alias] is what you type to select the connection, e.g. ssh [alias]
[file] is your DSA or RSA private key file

Log into a server using secure keys instead of typing a password

On the client:
  1. ssh-keygen -t rsa
  2. accept the default filename
  3. press enter for a blank password
  4. a private (id_rsa) and public key (id_rsa.pub) will be created
  5. copy the public key to the server
On the server
  1. cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  2. chmod 700 ~/.ssh
  3. chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Now back up your keys.

(Upon error "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key", log out of the client and log back in again to fix).
