Managing HTTP Access to the User Interface

If you are using HTTP server, you can control access to the Oracle Database XE user interface on the Manage HTTP Access page. By default, only HTTP requests that originate from the same physical server where the database is installed are able to access the Oracle Database XE user interface. You can change this default behavior on the Manage HTTP Access page.

Note:

The Manage HTTP Access page only controls access to the user interface if you are using HTTP server

To access the Manage HTTP Access page:

On the Database Home Page, click the Administration icon.
On the Tasks list, click Manage HTTP Access.
If prompted, enter the appropriate administrator username and password and click Login

The Manage Access page appears.
Under Access, select one of the following:
- Available only from local server. HTTP access is only allowed for HTTP requests that originate from the same physical server where the database is installed. This is the default setting.
  
  Selecting this option restricts access to the Oracle Database XE user interface as well as any other application using the HTTP server.
- Available to remote clients. HTTP access to the user interface is enabled for all clients on your network that have a browser. Note that selecting this option may introduce additional security risks.
Click Apply Changes.
