Access control in oracle

can anyone briefly describe two different ways in which restricted access can be provided in Oracle

what is your intention by specifying the term
"restricted access" ? Can you elaborate please.restricted access in terms of allowing users to only query the contents of specific tables within the database i.e. through privilege grants on the table. Are there any other ways of providing restricted access within oracle - if so kindly briefly explain.

  • Access Control functionality in Oracle workflow

    Hi everyone,
    I am doing research into access control models and workflow systems (separation of duty policies in particular). As far as I could tell, Oracle Workflow does not provide much in terms of securing access to data in a workflow process (except from the normal login authentication of course).
    One usually assigns a task's performer to a CONSTANT role from your database roles so that only certain users will have access to that task. This is not always enough though, especially when the role-hierarchy is not properly contructed and maintained. So, I've been working on a few scripts to dynamically prevent users from receiving tasks on their worklists based on their previous participation in the process (e.g. to prevent a manager from approving his own leave application).
    I was just wondering if anyone else have been working on access control in Oracle Workflow. Is there any built-in functionality that I missed that controls task-user assignment?
    Thanks,
    Carmen

    Thank you very much Sirish for your help.
    We are facing huge performance issues while Risk Analysis with Oracle Application servers through Greenlight Adaptor - its taking around 10 hours for 3000 users. Can you please point out what can be the possibilities and how can we trace out exact root cause and then solve it.
    This is happening on GRC AC 5.2 SP10 and GRC logs doesn't say much , it just gives output taken 12 secs for one user Risk Analysis.
    Here is our understanding on how GRC does Risk Analysis and our observations on our systems -->
    1. GRC asks for 1 user details at a time from Oracle Application Server - please confirm does GRC do Risk Analysis for one user at a time or a bunch of users?
    2. Oralce App server get details of that user and sends back results to GRC.
    3. Now there is a wait time for around 3 secs before Oracle Server gets request for the second user. 3 sec for one user means 2.5 hours of wait time for 3000 users. We are not able to understand why Oracle Server needs to wait for next user request from GRC?
    Would highly appreciate if you can share your experience on GRC Risk Analysis with Oracle (Greenlight Adaptor) and with SAP systems.

  • User management and Access Control in HCM Cloud

    Hello,
    Information is scarce about User management and Access Control in Oracle Cloud generally. Today, I have two questions :
    - How can I bridge HCM Cloud user store with my on-premise IDM or security repository in order to allow identty governance to flow to HCM Cloud service ?
    The only information I got was that you can declare manually and by bulk import through files my users. This is not really interresting as I have an automatic IDM with workflows and identity control on provisioning and de-provisioning.
    Is there a SPML or proprietary endpoint to do it automatically ? What are the prerequisites ? Do I have to implement OIM on my side ?
    - Once my users are created, how can I do webSSO from my internal security repositories to the HCM Cloud service ?
    I do not want to distribute new set of login / passwords to my users. Is it possible to do Identity Federation (SAML 2.0 or WS-Fed) with HCM Cloud service ? What are the prerequisites ? Do I have to implement OAM on my side ?
    I accept all pieces of information you can give me on this topic to help me understand the funcitonalites, limits and options offered by Oracle Cloud and more precisely by HCM Cloud service.
    Best regards,

    OIDDAS has limited capability of access control and information hiding. Presently, the permissions and privileges can be set at a realm level, and fine grained access control / information hiding cannot be done.
    At present, the only way to restrict view and access control is by appplying ACLs (which is not the safest bet).

  • Fine Grain Access Control gives ORA-02014

    Using Fine Grain Access Control on Oracle 8i 8.1.6, when a policy is enabled on a table then queries of the form "select * from table for update nowait" give "ORA-02014 cannot select FOR UPDATE from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.".
    Similar queries without the "for update nowait" work OK.
    Does anyone have a fix or workaround?
    null

    I ran into this. If you're using a function to add to/add a where clause to your statement, when the where clause gets appended to the end and generates an error. You should be seeing trace files in the udump area of oracle that show you the actual sql line that is being created in error. I modified my function to add the FOR UPDATE NOWAIT in the correct place.

  • Oracle ASM file access control ?

    dear all,
    i'm confuse about oracle ASM file access control, so can anyone more explain clear for me?
    thanks,

    really this is only if there are many user groups on the server. if so then you can limit the users on the server to who can actually do anything with the diskgroups. If you are using OEM follow below. hope that helps
    To manage Oracle ASM File Access Control:
    1.Access the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Home page.
    See "Oracle Automatic Storage Management Home Page" for instructions.
    2.Click the Disk Groups link to display the Disk Groups property page.
    3.Click a link in the Name column to select a disk group.
    4.Click the Access Control tab to display the Access Control page.
    On this page, you can add or remove users from a user group and create or delete user groups.

  • To run OHS at port 80 using solaris role based access control

    Hi.
    I already know & have done setuid root to ohs/bin/.apachectl to allow ohs to listen to port 80. Now on a new OFM 11.1.1.4 install, I want to use Solaris Role Based Access Control (RBAC) instead. Is it possible? RBAC does work as I can run a home built apache2 httpd at port 80 withOUT suid root.
    On Solaris 10, I enabled oracle uid to run process below port 1024 using RBAC
    /etc/user_attr:
    oracle::::type=normal;defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr
    Change OHS httpd.conf Listen from port 8888 to port 80.
    However, opmnctl startproc process-type=OHS
    failed as below with nothing showing in the diag logs:
    opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
    ================================================================================
    opmn id=truffle:6701
    0 of 1 processes started.

    failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
    Thx,
    Ken

    Just to add my two cents here.
    The commando used on Solaris to assign the right privilege to bind TCP ports < 1024 is:
    # usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,*net_privaddr* <your_user_name>
    Restart the opmnctl daemond.
    After that OHS/Apache user can bind to lower TCP ports.

  • Issue while enabling Access Control for a Coherence server node

    Hi
    Im trying to enable access control for a Coherence server node, using the default Keystore login method shipped with Coherence. When i start the server i get the error "java.security.AccessControlException: Unsufficient rights to perform the operation". Please see below for the sequence of steps I've followed to enable access control. I just need to be enable Authentication (not authorization) at this stage
    1. I have added the following entry in the Coherence Operational override file
    <security-config>
              <enabled system-property="tangosol.coherence.security">true</enabled>
              <login-module-name>Coherence</login-module-name>

                   <class-name>com.sun.security.auth.callback.TextCallbackHandler</class-name>
              </callback-handler>
         </security-config>
    2. The following is the entry in the Permissions.xml
    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <permissions>
    <grant>
    <principal>
    <class>javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal</class>
    <name>CN=admin,OU=Coherence,O=Oracle,C=US</name>
    </principal>
    <permission>
    <target>*</target>
    <action>all</action>
    </permission>
    </grant>
    </permissions>
    3. The following is the content of the Login configuration file "Coherence_Login.conf"
    Coherence {
    com.tangosol.security.KeystoreLogin required
    keyStorePath="keystore.jks";
    4. The following is the command line tag for starting the server
    java -server -showversion -Djava.security.auth.login.config=Coherence_Login.conf -Xms%memory% -Xmx%memory% -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=PROXY-cache-config.xml -Dtangosol.coherence.override=FOL-coherence-override.xml -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=6789 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dtangosol.coherence.security=true -cp "%coherence_home%\lib\coherence.jar" com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer %1
    Following is the output on the Console when running the command. It asks for a username and password for the JKS store (If i provide the wrong password, it gives a different error, which shows that it is able to authenticate aganst the Keystore). After i put in the password, it throws the error as shown below "java.security.AccessControlException: Unsufficient rights to perform the operation"

    Did you create the weblogic domain with the Oracle Webcenter Spaces option selected? This should install the relevant libraries into the domain that you will need to deploy your application. My experience is based off WC 11.1.1.0. If you haven't, you can extend your domain by re-running the Domain Config Wizard again (WLS_HOME/common/bin/config.sh)

  • ESYU: R12 - Order Management를 위한 Multi Org Access Control(MOAC) setup 방법

    Purpose
    Oracle Order Management - Version: 12.0 to 12.0
    Information in this document applies to any platform.
    R12의 Order Management에 대핸 Multi Org Access Control(MOAC) setup 방법에 대해 알아본다.
    Solution
    일반적인 MOAC Setup:
    1. HRMS에서 Security Profile을 정의:
    a. HRMS Management responsibility 선택
    b. HRMS Manager> Security> Profile로 이동
    c. Security Profile이 정의되어 있는지 확인 (OM responsibility 혹은 Site level로)
    d. 만일 아직 setup 되어져 있지 않다면 Operating Units를 입력
    e. 저장
    Note: 만일 위 d step과 같이 새로운 security profile을 생성하였다면 concurrent program 'Security List Maintenance'를 꼭 실행해야 한다.
    그렇지 않으면 multiple operating units가 OM forms의 LOV에 나타나지 않을 것이다.
    이 program은 multi-org access를 validating 하기 위해 사용하는 table에 data를 생성한다.
    Navigation: HRMS Management> HRMS Manager> Processes & Reports> Submit Process & Report> Security List Maintenance
    2. MO Profile Options setup:
    a. MO: Security Profile - 이 profile setting은 MOAC functionality를 활성화 한다.
    b. MO: Default Operating Unit - 이 Operating Unit는 OM forms과 report에서 default가 될 것이며, 이를 clear 하거나 변경하기 위해 LOV를 사용할 수 있다.
    Keep the MO profiles in sync:
    MO: Security Profile은 site와 responsibility level로 setting 할 수 있다.
    MO: Default Operating Unit은 site, responsibility, user level로 setting 할 수 있다.
    Application이 원하는대로 동작되지 않는것을 발견하면 이 profile options의 setting 값을 확인한다.
    3. OM setup:
    R12 upgrade 시 OM Profile에서 migrate 된 새로운 OM System Parameters를 확인:
    Order Management Super User> Setup> System Parameters> Values
    (See <<NOTE 393646.1>>-R12 Readiness Cheat Sheet: Migrated OM Profile Options)
    4. Form에서 hidden field 'Operatin Unit'를 활성화시키고 default folder로 저장:
    Sales Order and Order Organizer forms
    Quick Sales order and Organizer forms
    Sales Agreement forms
    Pricing and Availability form
    Other forms
    Note: Sales Order form에서 hidden field 'Operating Unit'를 'Show' 하기 전에 fotm안에 이 field를 위한 공간을 만들어 놓아야 한다.
    예를 들면 Customer Number field를 짧게 하거나 Operating Unit field로 이 field를 덮어씌울수 있다.

    Note 393634.1

    Hi Larry,
    Have you considered adding the exec apps.mo_global.set_policy_context call to your connection's start-up script?
    Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Filename for connection startup scriptNot the most flexible approach, so I'm not sure if it is appropriate for your application, but just a thought. You might create distinct connection names with different start-up scripts for each org_id.

  • Reporting on Access Control 5.3 with SAP BO 4.0

    Hello All,
    I have to develop WebI reports on Access Control 5.3 data. Are there any direct connectivity options available in IDT for Access Control 5.3 or Do I have to go through Oracle database connectivity as Access control 5.3 backend database is Oracle? And also for authorization data I have to connect to ERP system.
    Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Generally speaking,  i believe GRC 10  is more closely aligned to BI4.0 in terms of product releases.
    However, to the best of my knowledge, there's no direct connector from BI semantic layer (IDT/UDT) specifically for GRC.
    I believe there is a web-based UI (dynpro) for dashboard-like analysis of the compliance topology, but that's it:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_grcac10/helpdata/en/16/7a5f2e29744e078f9305017fee2fc2/frameset.htm
    You may want to contact the GRC forum to confirm.

  • Access control - Restricted access not working

    Hi
    I have an application I have created an Access Control administration page in. I have set the application mode to 'Restricted access. Only users defined in the access control list are allowed'. I have defined two users one with administrator and one with edit privileges. I have a third workspace user who is not listed on the access control page.
    I have added the authorisation scheme to the tabs, pages and page items I require. This appears to work fine if I change the privilege of one of the listed users to 'view' the items disappear and cannot be accessed.
    The issue I have is that the workspace user who is not listed can still log into the application, and has the same access as 'view' privilege. My understanding is that the 'Restricted Access' application mode should prevent this user from accessing this application as they are not explicitly listed?
    Have I missed some set-up, misunderstood the meaning of 'restricted access' or is it some sort of bug? I am assuming I have missed some set-up somewhere.

  • ADF UIX Role Based Access Control Implementation

    Hi,
    Can anybody suggest a detailed example or tutorials of how to implement a role based access control for my ADF UIX application.
    The application users can be dymanically added to specific roles (admin, Secretary, Guest). Based on the roles, they should be allowed to access only certain links or ADF entity/view operations. Can this be implemented in a centralized way.
    Can this be done using JAZN or JAAS. If so, Please provide me references to simple tutorial on how to do this.
    Thanks a lot.
    Sathya

    Brenden,
    I think you are following a valid approach. The default security in J2EE and JAAS (JAZN) is to configure roles and users in either static files (jazn-data.xml) or the Oracle Internet Directory and then use either jazn admin APIs or the OID APIs to programmatically access users, groups and Permissions (your role_functions are Permissions in a JAAS context).
    If you modelled your security infrastructure in OID than the database, an administrator would be able to use the Delegated Administration Service (DAS), as web based console in Oracle Application Server. To configure security this way, you would have two options:
    1. Use J2EE declarative security and configure all you .do access points in web.xml and constrain it by a role name (which is a user group name in OID). The benefit of this approach is that you can get Struts actions working dirctly with it because Struts actions have a roles attribute.
    The disadvantage is that you can't dynamically create new roles because they have to be mapped in web.xml
    2. Use JAAS and check Permissions on individual URLs. This allows you to perform finer grained and flexible access control, but also requires changes to Struts. Unlike the approach of subclassing the DataActionForward class, I would subclass the Struts RequestProcessor and change the processRoles method to evaluate JAAS permissions.
    The disadvantage of this approach is that it requires coding that should be done carefully not to lock you in to your own implementation of Struts so that you couldn't easily upgrade to newer versions.
    1 - 2 have the benefit of that the policies can be used by all applications in an enterprise that use Oracle Application Server and e.g. SSO.
    Your approach - as said - is valid and I think many customers will look for the database first when looking at implementing security (so would I).
    Two links that you might be interested in to read are:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/jguard/ --> an open source JAAS based security framework that stores the user, roles and permissions in database tables similar to your approach
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/adfstrutsj2eesec.pdf --> a whitepaper I've written about J2EE security for Web applications written with Struts and JavaServer pages. You may not be able to use all of it, but its a good source of information.

  • How to add access control to a WebService in Weblogic

    Hello experts,
    I developed a Web Service and I deployed it on Weblogic: it reads a SOAP request and, according to the input, it performs some actions.
    Now we would need to implement an access control on it, we read some information in the documentation we find on google, but none of these was exhaustive: did anyone of you implemented already an access control policy?
    And how did you do?
    Thank you

    Hello Arunkumar,
    my JDev is 11.1.1.5.0.
    I checked the documentation, but it's not clear for me in which of those scenarios we are: we have an Oracle Service Bus that needs to contact an application, but we don't want to grant a direct access to it.
    So the bus is calling the web service that it's triggering the events on the application.
    Everything works fine, but we need now to put at least an access control method, in order to avoid that a simple call from SoapUI may triggers the operations on our Web Service.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the link; I executed the first block of code to 'grant connect privileges to any host for the APEX_040200 database user' that did not work so I changed the user to HR within the code and re-executed and that seems to have done the trick. I guess the HR user is now in the power_users list/group?
