Audit Vault Viewlet links broken

The first 2 viewlets in the Audit Vault section link back to itself instead of launching the viewlets.

hi,
1. if you plan to block sql using the firewall you will need 3 NICs in the firewall appliance since apart from the management interface you will need to setup a bridge (with 2 NICs) to physically route the traffic through the firewall, this also requires you to patch the appliance properly inside your datacenter between the protected database and the client or middle tier servers, so you can't do  this w/o changing anything in your nw configuration.
2. you will need to compile a whitelist based on what your trusted applications are doing normally, this is an iterative process, then the firewall will be able to block sql not in the whitelist (replace it with something like select 1 from dual), since the only physical network path from the java clients to  the secured target db goes via the bridge
Comment: so if you have a chance: pull one NIC out of the AV server (it only needs 1) and plug it into the firewall appliance.
greetings,
Harm ten Napel

  • Audit Vault and DB Firewall Design

    I have and application (JAVA Based) connected to the database 11g using JDBC,
    I am going to implement Audit Vault and DB firewall R12 for three reasons:
    1. monitoring the traffic
    2. blocking un wanted SQL statements.
    3. blocking un wanted IPs/Users
    Our two Physcial servers that will be used for Audit Vault and DB Firewalls contain two NIC each.
    My Questions:
    1.  How to put these two servers in our network to be able to mointor as well block traffic, we don't need to change anything to our exisiting network configuration.
    2.  How to DB Firewall will block unwanted incomming traffic from the JAVA application to our database.
    please any usefull documents, links, ideas, network design
    I tried official Oracle Document, it is useless

  • Audit Vault Installation problem on windows platform

    Hello!
    I'm trying to install Audit Vault 10.2.2 on windows platform. The installation procedure is successfull (there are no alerts about errors during installation). The enterprise manager is working at http://localhost:1158/em without any problem.
    The installation guide says that audit vault console should work at http://localhost:5700/av, but this site is unreachable.
    I tried to find out the problem, so I started avctl show_av_status
    The result is:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Invalid Oracle JDBC url
    at oracle.av.avca.Commandarguments.setOracleProperties (Commandarguments.java:281)
    at oracle.av.avca.Commandarguments.processArguments(CommandArguments.java:667)
    at oracle.av.avca.Avctl.startCTL(Avctl.java:70)
    at oracle.av.avca.Avctl.main(Avctl.java:318)
    (avctl start_av results the same problem)
    Could you help me to solve this problem? Please!

    I'd like to help you but it seems to me, from the perspective of the purpose of Audit Vault, that putting a secure repository on top of an insecure operating system is a non sequitur.
    Thus all of my installs have been on Oracle Enterprise Linux and I've never seen any installation-related issues such as you are reporting.
    If you can I would suggest getting, as they say, "a real operating system."
    Performance will improve, hardware utilization will improve, security will improve, and as an additional advantage, this issue will disappear.

  • Error while trying to start Audit Collector on the Audit Vault Server 10g

    Hi,
    We are trying to build a demo environment for testing Oracle Audit Vault 10g but we are having some trouble.
    Our environment is like this: Oracle Audit Vault Server is installed on Windows Server 2003 SP2, while the Audit Vault Agent is installed on an Oracle 10g Release 2 database which resided on Windows server 2003 SP1. This two Windows Server machines are both installed as virtual machines.
    We have successfully created the Agent and the Collector on Audit Vault Server and the Agent starts successfully while when we try to start the collector we get an error which says " Http Communication error: Http Communication error: 500" and the collector does not start.
    We are new to the Audit Vault Software so we would really appreciate some help on how to resolve this issue because we have got stuck here and can not go on with our work.
    Thanks in advance for your time
    Best regards
    Engrid

    Hi,
    Thanks again for all of your replies but now we are getting another error with the OSAUD collector. We are able to add the collector successfully by using the avorcldb all_collector command.
    Source database is 10g R2 (10.2.1) and we configured it for collecting the audit records in the OS audit trail by using the following statement: ALTER SYSTEM SET AUDIT_TRAIL=OS SCOPE=SPFILE;, and the SHOW PARAMETER AUDIT command returns the following values :
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    audit_file_dest string C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN
    \<db_name>\ADUMP
    audit_sys_operations boolean TRUE
    audit_trail string OS
    We don't know if the values set for the audit_file_dest is correct but after we start working on the database and execute some statements Oracle is not creating any files on this destinations while for the same statements when the Audit_trail=DB, EXTENDED the audit values for these statements are written in the appropriate table.
    So we do not know if this is the cause but when we try to start the OSAUD collector defined on the Audit Vault Server it can not start and gives us the follwing error: "could not start collector OSAUD_Collector for source <source name>, directory access error for C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN\<db_name>\ADUMP".
    Sorry for the message being so long but we really need some help with this issue.
    thanks in advance.

    Sorry, it was my mistake.
    Actually while upgradation to 10.2.3.2, my ORACLE_HOME was not set to AV Agent HOME (instead it was set for AV Server HOME). That is why at the end script was unable to run from respective HOME.
    Conclusion: Make sure to set ORACLE_HOME to AV Agent HOME before applying to 10.2.3.2 patchset to AV Agent. (also Valid for all Oracle Patchset Installation)

  • Oracle Database Vault vs Audit Vault and database firewall

    Hi All,
    I would like to know the main difference between Oracle Database Vault and Oracle Audit Vault and Database firewall.
    I have read all the white papers and documents on them both and find them very similar in work process.
    Only difference I see in the pricing.
    I feel Oracle audit Vault can do all the work of Database Vault with added feature of proactive session monitoring.
    If someone can help me based on their knowledge and experience it would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I have read the white papers of both Database Vault and Audit Vault
    According to database Vault sessions can be managed using various roles created as per business requirements.
    Audit vault offers same thing in terms of a firewall which manages and restrictions based on roles created .
    From the white papers:
    DATABAES VAULT:
    Oracle Database Vault restricts access to specific areas in an Oracle database from any user, including users who have administrative access.
    This enables you to apply fine_grained access control to your sensitive data in a variety of ways.
    Oracle Database Vault enables you to create the following components to manage security for your database:
    Realms
    Command Rules
    Factors
    Rule Sets.
    DATABAE AUDIT AND FIREWALL:
    Oracle Audit Vault and database Firewall consolidates database activity monitoring events and audit logs. Policies enforce expected application behaviour, helping preventing SQL injection, application bypass, and other malicious activities from reaching the database while also monitoring and auditing privileged users and other activities inside the database.
    To me these sound very similar of doing same work.
    My apologies as I am unable to paste the whole text here and I cannot type full documents here
