Database Vault on RAC

Dear DBAs,
Is it possible to install a new Oracle home for VAULT on a RAC struc. using the existing clusterware handling 3 instances ?
The fact of installing a new clusterware on the same RAC is strange .
Please your help .
Regards

Hi,
You have 2 options to work around the SYSDBA ISSUE :
1. You can disable all of the default Command roles and REALMS - I do it any way on a Database Vault Deployment, I want to full control over the database vault roles and realms.
2. Database vault manual - 9.5.1 Step 1: Enable Logins for the SYSDBA Role - shows you how disable the SYSDBA enforcement (See CUT&PASTE at the bottom of this message)
Checkout my site - [http://www.dbsnaps.com/groups/oracle_security] for useful information about database vault.
9.5.1 Step 1: Enable Logins for the SYSDBA :
To enable the ability to log in using the SYSDBA role:
1. Log in using the Oracle software owner account (usually oracle) to the computer where Oracle Database is installed.
2. Go to the following directory, which is the default location for password files:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
3. Run the orapwd utility to create two copies of the password file: one with SYSDBA enabled and the second with SYSDBA disabled.
This way, you can enable or disable SYSDBA in the future by simply using the appropriate password file.
First, create a password file that disables SYSDBA:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwdSID.sysdba_closed password=pwd nosysdba=y
Do not enter spaces around the equal (=) character.
Next, create a password file that enables SYSDBA:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwdSID.sysdba_open password=pwd nosysdba=n
For more information on running orapwd, see "Enable or Disable Connections with the SYSDBA Privilege" in Oracle Database Vault Installation Guide.
4. Copy the password file to the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory, which is where Oracle Database checks for the password file.
cp –p orapwdSID.sysdba_open orapwdSID
When you are ready to disable the SYSDBA, you can enter the following command:
cp –p orapwdSID.sysdba_closed orapwdSID

Database Vault 11g with RAC

According to Oracle whitepaper, it mentioned that "The Oracle Home where DV is to be installed does not contain any ASM instance."
But, ASM and RAC DB are located at the same home (Default installation) at my site.
I jsut puzzle how I can fulfill this requirement. Could any expert give me some advices ?

I have built a test environment using single instance only, same os version and db version, without clusterware and rac.
I perform the same by installing asm and db in the same home and create db, and then install DBV .
Register the existing db instance for DBConsole at all.
Eventually it turns out that no problem.
Any supporting reason for that I must separate the Oracle Home ?On Oracle [ID 793739.1] -> 12 Things to Check for a Successful Database Vault Installation in 10gR2
#1. Oracle Label Security is correctly installed and enabled.
#2. Database console is functional.
#3. The database to be installed should figure in the oratab file
#4. the sqlnet files (tnsnames.ora and listener.ora) are placed in the default location:
*#5. The Oracle Home where DV is to be installed does not contain any ASM instance.*
#6. In case of RAC srvctl must work fine on all nodes.
#7. The database vault must be installed:
+ For a single instance database it must be installed in a home that does not have the RAC option enabled.
+ For a RAC database it must be installed in a home that has the RAC option enabled.
You cannot run a single instance database vault from a RAC enabled home.
#8. In the database there must be a temporary tablespace named TEMP.
#9. The service name used in jdbc_str must appear as an entry in tnsnames. ora and must match in name and case the ORACLE_SID.
#10. The installer expects the listener name to be LISTENER and this is the only listener it starts. If using a different listener name, it must be started before running runInstaller or dvca.
#11. Respect the password restrictions. Use the alphanumeric, characters, numbers and any of the $,#,_ characters. Password must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least one character from each of the groups mentioned above.
#12. In addition to all the above, the 10.2.0.3 installation expects the ORACLE_SID to be lowercase. If this is too restrictive, it would be recommended to upgrade to the 10.2.0.4 database and database vault releases.
* Certainly , you can install DBV with ASM. However, Oracle support doesn't guarantee it's stability and patch availability.That's fine. Let me discuss with stakeholdersr . My next task is to split RAC and ASM

Database Vault support with OGG

IHAC who wants to use OGG 11.1.1.1 on a RAC database with "Database Vault" installed.
I found Bug 12356827: NEW DV ROLE IS REQUIRED FOR GOLDEN GATE OCI API TO RUN PROPERLY.
It's unclear, if this just means we need the new DV Role DV_GOLDENGATE_REDO_ACCESS in order to be "DV compliant"
or if GG doesn't work at all with DV enabled Databases.
Please clarifiy, if and with which OGG + Oracle Release we fully support Database Vault.
Thanks,
Robert

I know Database Vault is certified for use with E-Business Suite, and EBS is certified for use with GoldenGate (with the noted limitations of a couple of data types and some tables here and there, as documented in a support note). Given that chain, I would say yes. There isn't much, if any, public information, so to be sure, you should ask Oracle support. There is one hit on Google about dv_goldengate_redo_access, and it comes from your question. I would take that as a sign that you need to go to the source (Oracle) to confirm.

Schema export via Oracle data pump with Database Vault enabled question

Hi,
I have installed and configured Database Vault on an Oracle 11g-r2-11.2.0.3 to protect a specific schema (SCHEMA_NAME) via a realm. I have followed the following doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/security/twp-databasevault-dba-bestpractices-199882.pdf
to ensure that the sys and the system user has sufficient rights to complete a schedule Oracle data pump export operation.
I.e. I have granted to sys and system the following:
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_scheduler_user('sys','SCHEMA_NAME');
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_scheduler_user('system','SCHEMA_NAME');
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_datapump_user('sys','SCHEMA_NAME');
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_datapump_user('system','SCHEMA_NAME');
I have also create a second realm on the same schema (SCHEMA_NAME) to allow sys and system to maintain indexes for real-protected tables, To allow a sys and system to maintain indexes for realm-protected tables. This separate realm was created for all their index types: Index, Index Partition, and Indextype, sys and system have been authorized as OWNER to this realm.
However, when I try and complete an Oracle Data Pump export operation on the schema, I get two errors directly after the following line displayed in the export log:
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/INDEX/DOMAIN_INDEX/INDEX:
ORA-39127: unexpected error from call to export_string :=SYS.DBMS_TRANSFORM_EXIMP.INSTANCE_INFO_EXP('AQ$_MGMT_NOTIFY_QTABLE_S','SYSMAN',1,1,'11.02.00.00.00',newblock)

ORA-39127: unexpected error from call to export_string :=SYS.DBMS_TRANSFORM_EXIMP.INSTANCE_INFO_EXP('AQ$_MGMT_LOADER_QTABLE_S','SYSMAN',1,1,'11.02.00.00.00',newblock)

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_TRANSFORM_EXIMP", line 197
ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 9081
The export is completed but with this errors.
Any help, suggestions, pointers, etc actually anything will be very welcome at this stage.
Thank you

Hi Srini,
Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately after having followed the instructions of the DOC I am still getting the same errors ?
none the less thank you for your input.
I was also wondering if someone could tell me how to move this thread to the Database Security area of the forum, as I feel I may have posted the thread in the wrong place as it appears to be a Database Vault issue and not an imp/exp problem. ?

Hi all,
I installed the oracle database version 10.2.0.3 on vista, and then tried to install the database vault, but, during the installation process, it checks the requirements and such, but I get an error, the error is the fallowing (well it may not be the same in the other versions, I installed in portuguese, but is something like this):
Checking OS requirements....
Expected result: one of 4.0,4.1,5.0,5.1,5.2
Real result: 6.0
The overall result of this verification is: Not approved <<<<
Problem: The Oracle Database 10g is not certified on current OS

=======================================================================
To me this error makes no sense, since I successfully installed oracle database (10.2.0.3). So if anyone can help me with this I apreciate.

Erro while installing Oracle Database Vault in 10.2.0.3

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 in Windows XP 32 bit. While trying to install Database vault I am getting the below error.
Java Virtual Machine Launcher
Could Not find the main class. Program will exits.

Please reread my question.
"I am getting the error" is roughly equivalent to saying "my car doesn't start tell me why?"
Well perhaps you have no petrol.
Perhaps you never turned the key.
Perhaps the battery is dead.
Perhaps the engine was stolen.
Again ... if you want help ... reread what I wrote and answer the questions asked. Otherwise I don't see how I, or anyone else, can help you.
What hardware platform? How much RAM? What CPU? What version of XP? What service pack, etc.? Details. Details. Details.

Database Vault and expdp

Hi, i want export the database schema which is protected by database vault.
Metalink Note:433887.1 describes this, but i receive errors.
expdp bernst/password schemas=HR file=/tmp/test
ORA-31626 job does not exist
ORA-31633 unable to create master table bernst.sys_export_schema_05
ORA-06512 at sys.dbms_sys_error
ORA-06512 at sys.KUPV$FT
ORA-01950 no privileges on tablespace USERS
any ideas?
regards Frank

This is late but, somebody will see it.
Be sure to do this.
First of all, create a user called pepe in this way.
create user pepe identified by PASSWORD default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp;
Then...
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY datapump AS 'full_path';
SQL> GRANT EXP_FULL_DATABASE to pepe;
SQL> GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY datapump to pepe;
You should be able then to run the expdp utility.

Grant Privileges in Database Vault for DATAPUMP.

HI,
I am using ORACLE DATABASE 11g R2.
I have installed/enabled DATABASE VAULT 11g on it.
I have configured many user in it for privileges like 'SELECT on table','INSERT on table' ,DELETE .....
I want to give a user DATAPUMP privilege so that he can export and import.
I have 2 users.
1) MAIN
2) BACKUP
MAIN user is the owner and the most important schema. Now i want one more schema named 'BACKUP' which will be able to take backup from MAIN schema. NO OTHER SCHEMA SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TAKE BACKUP OF MAIN SCHEMA NOT EVEN SYS.
*Can anyone tell me how i can grant proper privilege to BACKUP schema so that he can use DATAPUMP and import/export from OS prompt on the MAIN schema.
NOTE :- I have Database vault installed on my server. Please let me know what all RULES or RULE SETS I need to make to make this happen.
Thanks in advance.

I have managed with privileges to grant BACKUP user right to start an IMPORT but i get these errors while importing :-
Failing sql is:
CREATE TABLE "MAIN"."FLX_PM_OFFER_SELECTOR_B" ("USER_NAME" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE), "PRODUCT_GROUP" VARCHAR2(5 BYTE), "REFERENCE_NUM" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE, "SESSION_STATE" VARCHAR2(5 BYTE), "OFFER_FEATURES" BLOB, "RECOMMENDED_OFFERS" VARCHAR2(500 BYTE), "SELECTED_OFFERS" VARCHAR2(500 BYTE), "MAKER_NAME" VARCHAR2(12 BYTE), "MAK

ORA-47401: Realm violation for CREATE TABLE on MAIN.FLX_PM_ACCOUNT_ROLE_FLOW

I am getting this error for all the objects :- SYSNONMY,SEQUENCE,
I have granted MAIN users all the privileges but still i am getting these errors. Do i need to create any realm or rule set for this?
Thanks.

How to recreate enterprise manager with database vault

I'm testing the Oracle database Vault option at database version 11.1.0.7 but there are some thing that does not work correct in the test. One of them is that I do not be able to recreate the enterprise manager repository. After probe several ways with database option enabled I decided to disable it. With the database vault option disabled I recreated the emanager ok but after enabled the database vault option again the database vault administrator does not browse for me:
The firefox notice me an error with resource /dva.
I hope you can help me.

when you have vault on do you get errors in the realm audit reports ?
or are you trying to create an oem repository in a vault enabled database ?

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

SQL Text in DATABASE VAULT Events

I'm using Audit Vault 10.2.3.2 to collect audit data from a source database 11gR2 (11.2.0.1) protected with Database Vault. The DBAUD collector is collecting all the Database Vault Events, but in all cases the SQL Text column is empty.
The collector seems to be working fine, I've added the collector user to the Oracle Data Dictionary Realm and I've also granted dv_secanalyst to the user.
Are there any aditional steps that have to be done in order to get the SQL Text?
Thanks.

In case anybody is interested, this error has been filed as bug 11818022 with Oracle Support.
Thanks.

Database Vault in 11g

Hi,
Am aware that till 10g Database vault is seperate product and we need to download it seperately and install it to make use of it. From 11g is it included along with Enterprise Edition software or still a seperate product?
Thanks in advance.

it is included with 11g.you just check mark its box when installaing software only.then run dbca and you will find it enabled.if you have installed oracle and didnot check mark the box here is the steps how to enable it manually.
To Enable Database vault manually we do the following:
1-Shutdown immediate
2-cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
3-make -f ins_rdbms.mk lbac_on dv_on ioracle
4-sqlplus / as sysdba
startup nomount
alter database mount;
alter database open;
5-select * from v$option where parameter='oracle database vault';
