Details
The ssl_svcename configuration parameter defines the name or number of the port the database server listens for incoming communications from remote client nodes using the SSL protocol. The ssl_svcename and svcename port numbers cannot be the same.
On Linux operating systems, the ssl_svcename file is located in: /etc/services
Consider using a non-default port to help protect the database from attacks directed to a default port.
