No they cannot send you a document that is available only to those with access to MOS.
That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.
Your post is locked.
Your duplicate post that you placed into the Audit Vault forum space has been removed (it had no responses).
This thread which you had placed in the Solaris 10 forum space is moved to the Audit Vault forum space.

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

Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall implementaion

Dear All,
we are planning to implement Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall on 2 node 11g RAC/solaris10, please advise me to ahead in details
Thanks

Recently purchased Audit Vault and Database Firewall
My question is with Audit Vault.
All of the documentation says that i need Oracle Linux 5.8 as part of the installation. We do not have any servers now that support 5.8 currently. When I check the HCL for Oracle Linux 5.8 i see only 4 Oracle servers that support this version
Sun Server X2-4
Sun Server X2-8
Sunfire X2270 M2
Sunfire X4470
The only two servers that are currently offer for purchase by Oracle are the X2-4 and X2-8 which are way overkill both in power and price for this application.
The X2270 M2 would fit nicely, but is no longer offered for sale. In it place is the X3-2 which would fit nicely, but it listed as supporting Oracle Linux 5.8. Oracle Linux 5.9 is supported on the X3-2.
My question is will Oracle Linux 5.9 or newer install to support Audit Vault? The documentation specifies Linux 5.8. Is this flexible or not?
Thanks,

Audit Vault Database Firewall 12.1 Repository Load Log Location

Can anyone tell me where, if any place, that Oracle writes a log for when it is moving data collected by the Database Firewall into the Audit Vault repository? Based on "holes" in the data, it appears that the collection and load from the database firewall mysteriously stops but will collect normally once the enforcement point is recycled.
Environment: Audit Vault Database Firewall 12.1.0.2
Thank you.

Hi!
Installation configuration depends on what you need: the only mandatory component is Server, other 2 are optional.

Oracle Database Firewall and Audit Vault - alert category in HP ArcSight SIEM

HI,
in the new Oracle Database Firewall and Audit Vault 12.1.x there isn't the category "alert" that can be sent to ArcSight SIEM ... there's only for Syslogs
Do you know why?? In th old version (5.1) you could choose alert category for both formats, syslog and arcSight Siem.
Thx
Matteo

Is the Database Vault portion of Audit Vault only for the Audit Vault DB?

Hi all, first of thanks in advance.
I am doing a bit of research in order to fulfill some security system requirements for an upcoming project. In summary the requirement states that DBAs should not have the ability to view personal health information stored in the database.
My initial thought was to use Oracle Label Security but recall that SYS is exempt from the OLS policies. Next I looked into Oracle Database Vault and the product appears to meet the requirements. However another part of the requirement states that we must prevent undetectable data tampering - which to me sounds like we need to have an auditing product in place not only to audit access and data changes but also to make sure that audit logs can't be tampered with. It seems like Oracle Audit Vault should meet the requirement. When looking into Audit Vault it mentions it comes with Oracle Database Vault and there is some wording which makes me believe that the Oracle Database Vault component is only for the Audit Vault database. Short of installing the product I thought I would post a message to see if my assumption is correct.
If the assumption is correct it sounds like we would need to purchase both Audit Vault and Database Vault to fully meet the requirement. Can anyone think of any reason we need to include OLS as well?
Once again, thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Eric

I imagine you are dealing with the HIPAA compliance requirements and facing the same issue faced by many others.
To audit who has viewed data ... SELECT statements ... you can use Fine Grained Auditing (FGA).
To meet the government's auditing requirements, as well as those for hospital accreditation Audit Vault will do the trick.
Keeping DBAs out of the data can be done by a number of means but the issue often comes down to the applications you have purchased and the quality of the vendors. One major source of hospital software in the US, for example, has installed thousands of systems with the exact same password for the schema owner ... and that schema owner has DBA privs.
So before your run too far down the road of closing the back door ... make sure the front door isn't wide open.

Audit Vault adding RAC database for OSAUD collector.

Hello,
I am configuring Audit Vault 10.2.3 for some AIX databases.
Can anyone tell me what exactly is the method for adding OSAUD collector on both nodes of a RAC database.
I have below configuration.
Database Name TEST
instance name on node 1 TEST1
instance name on node 2 TEST2
cluster name clusterbloc
agent name on node 1 agenttest1
agent name on node 2 agenttest2
I have run the below commands.
For first node,
avorcldb add_source -src clusterbloc:1521:TEST   -desc 'Test Database' -agentname agenttest1
Enter Source user name: srcuser1
Enter Source password:
Adding source...
Source added successfully.
source successfully added to Audit Vault
While trying to run for second node, below output was received.
avorcldb add_source -src clusterbloc:1521:TEST   -desc 'Test Database' -agentname agenttest2
Enter Source user name: srcuser1
Enter Source password:
source TEST already exists
Storing user credentials in wallet...
Create credential Modify credential
Modify 3
done.
Mapping Source to Agent...
avorcldb add_collector -srcname TEST    -agentname agenttest2   -colltype OSAUD -instname TEST2   -orclhome
*/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1*
source TEST verified for OS File Audit Collector collector
Adding collector...
Collector added successfully.
collector successfully added to Audit Vault
remember the following information for use in avctl
Collector name (collname): OSAUD_Collector_TEST2
avorcldb add_collector -srcname TEST   -agentname agenttest1   -colltype OSAUD -instname   TEST1   -orclhome /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1
source TEST verified for OS File Audit Collector collector
Adding collector...
Collector added successfully.
collector successfully added to Audit Vault
remember the following information for use in avctl
Collector name (collname): OSAUD_Collector_TEST1
Now which command should be run for setup ? Or any changes need to be made on earlier commands, especially on add_source ?
avorcldb setup -srcname TEST
Or
these two ?
avorcldb setup -srcname TEST1
avorcldb setup -srcname TEST2

OS collector should be configure for both node in RAC.
and avorcldb setup -srcname command is run on the Audit Vault Collection Agent with source database name.
so please run avorcldb setup -srcname TEST from both agent host.

Does Audit Vault require Database Vault, Advanced Security or OLS?

I wish to install Audit Vault. Is it mandatory to have Database Vault or Advanced Security or even Oracle Label Security if I don't care about the functionality of those products. I only wish to take advantage if the Audit Vault capabilities. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply. So I don't need Advanced Security and OLS but do need Database Vault. Since Database Vault is bundled in the Audit Vault installation software, can you tell me if that means the license fee payable for Database Vault is already included in the license fee I will pay for Audit Vault? Thanks again.

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.
