Enterprise User Security (EUS) with Oracle RAC database

Hi all,
i'm experiencing a problem configuring centralized AAA on Oracle OID for Oracle RAC Database.
My environment is:
1) Oracle OID 10g (192.168.15.245 - rh4oidserver.klab.it)
2) Oracle RAC database 11g
I successfull configured a standalone Oracle Database to authenticate user in OID centralized repository, but i'm experiencing different problem to do, with RAC, same things.
In dept:
1) Oracle RAC works correctly and internal user (SYS,Oracle, ecc.) are correctly authenticated and authorizated against database
2) Oracle RAC register himself in OID (see attached snapshoot)
3) I run sqlplus to connect on Oracle RAC using OID users and i get following error: ORA-28030 Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service
Using a sniffer, i can see a reset message after SSL handshake (SSL v3 encrypted alert), but i don't undenstand root cause....
Host file on RAC server is:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.

Completion Insight not working correctly when using Enterprise User Security (EUS) logon

This is a pre existing issue we've experienced with SQL Developer, though I've only just worked out what is causing the issue it is present in previous versions of the tool, up to the current 4.0.EA2.
We experience issues with the Completion Insight functionality of SQL Developer.
When we log into a database using Enterprise User Security i,e authenticating against OID, the schema of the database account is prefixed to any reference to public synonyms, ie all user_%, all_%, dba_% and v$% views.
When I change the authentication of the database account back to normal database authentication the schema prefix correctly isn't shown. It simply suggests the synonym name of the views.
An example of this is as follows when attempting to query the DBA_TABLES view:
The database account is ORADBA and has DBA privs.
The EUS user that is mapped to the ORADBA schema is dbutler.
The ORADBA user is configured to authenticate externally (against OID).
I login with my dbutler directory credentials:
If I start typing:
select * from dba_tabl
The object name is suggested as ORADBA.dba_tables
If I change the authentication of the ORADBA account back to database authentication, the prefix is no longer present.
i.e If I start typing:
select * from dba_tabl
The object name is suggested as dba_tables

If you're not using DB 10.2 this is the "expected" behavior for the DB. See also metalink note 351170.1 "Enterprise Users Can Connect to a Database when the OID Account is Disabled"

How to configure Enterprise User Security ?

Hi All,
I am following the oracle document for setting up Enterprise User Security to setup Enterprise user security between OID 11g and database 11g . but right now if i click on the "Enterprise User Security" link in the Security under the Server tab , I am getting a HTTP 500 internal error , please kindly provide your inputs .
Regards,
Senthil.

Hi,
You don't so much configure enterprise voice for federation, you just configure enterprise voice. Then when you configure you're environment for federation, the voice features will take care of themselves. The two are separation components / features.
But you'll need to be a little more specific; Are the two user forests using the same Lync environment through a forest trust(s) (resource or central forest topologies)? If they are, then you don't need to do anything with federation for these
two forests to leverage enterprise voice between their users - it will just work. However if each user forest is using a separate Lync environment, then you will need to configure federation between the two and make use of Lync Edge servers.
You can enable enterprise voice for users without an SBC or gateway, this component is used merely to connect your Lync platform to the PSTN. You may also use a direct SIP trunk to your mediation server as you have eluded to, although I never recommend this
in production for security reasons (which I feel others will back me on), it is still a supported option.
Let me know if I've interpreted this completely wrong.
Kind regards
Ben

Get error while Integrating with Oracle's Enterprise User Security

Hi,
I am trying to create an Oracle Enterprise User integrating with OVD and MS Active Directory.
I am following all the steps in Integrating with Oracle's Enterprise User Security.
In the documentation section: "Configuring Oracle Virtual Directory for the Integration"
I have applied the steps successfully until:
Update and load the entries into the Local Store Adapters by performing the following steps:
I have successfully extended the Oracle Virtual Directory schema with the loadOVD.ldif
However I am getting errors in the next step: Update realmRoot.ldif to use your namespaces
The next step states the following:
Update realmRoot.ldif to use your namespaces, including the dn, dc, o, orclsubscriberfullname,
and memberurl attributes in the file. If you have a DN mapping between Active Directory and
Oracle Virtual Directory, use the DN that you see from Oracle Virtual Directory.
The realmRoot.ldif file is located in ORACLE_VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY_HOME/eus,
where ORACLE_VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY_HOME represents the location where Oracle Virtual Directory is installed.
The realmRoot.ldif file contains core entries in the directory namespace that Enterprise User Security queries. The realmRoot.ldif file also contains the dynamic group that contains the registered Enterprise User Security databases to allow secured access to sensitive Enterprise User Security related attributes, like the user's Enterprise User Security hashed password attribute.
Load your domain root information in the realmRoot.ldif file into Oracle Virtual Directory using the following command:
ldapmodify -h Oracle_Virtual_Directory_Host –p OVD_Port -D cn=admin -w Admin_Password -v -a –f realmRoot.ldif
When I run the ldapmodify command I get the following error:
add dc:
testldap
add objectclass:
top
domain
domainDNS
adding new entry DC=testldap,DC=local
ldap_add: Operations error
ldap_add: additional info: LDAP Error 1 : null
The actual realmRoot.ldif looks like this:
# Please uncomment the following one line if you are importing this
# LDIF file via OVD Manager or OVD Server's ldapmodify tool.
#version: 1
#dn: dc=com
#dc: com
#objectclass: domain
dn: DC=testldap,DC=local
changetype: add
dc: testldap
#o: subarashii
objectclass: top
objectclass: domain
objectclass: domainDNS
#objectclass: orclSubscriber
#orclsubscriberfullname: subarashii
#orclVersion: 90400
# If your domain structure has more layers than dc=subarashii,dc=com,
# for example, it's dc=us,dc=subarashii,dc=com, you will need to load
# the following ldif entry/entries too.
# Uncomment out the following, if required.
#dn: dc=us,dc=subarashii,dc=com
#orclversion: 90400
#orclsubscriberfullname: us
#objectclass: domain
#objectclass: top
#objectclass: orclSubscriber
#dc: us
# Adding EUSDBGroup entry
# Modify the memberurl attribute and replace it with your own domain name
#dn: cn=EUSDBGROUP,dc=subarashii,dc=com
#cn: EUSDBGROUP
#memberurl:ldap:///dc=subarashii,dc=com??sub?(&(objectclass=orclService)(objectclass=orclDBServer))
#objectclass:groupofuniquenames
#objectclass:groupofurls
#objectclass:top

Did you ever get your questions answered about the realmRoot.ldif file? Did you manage to configure a successful integration of OVD with EUS? I am battling with trying to get Oracle Virtual Directory integrated with Enterprise User Security, but every step I take in Chapter 7 of the OVD manual fails in some way, and the instructions are often vague. I am not sure how to modify the realmRoot.ldif file. Is there any improved documentation on this? I have logged a Service Request, but not getting any help. Any resources or documentation you know of that provides better guidance would be much appreciated. I am way behind my schedule now and this is a very frustrating exercise.
Thanks.

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /

16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
backup incremental level 1 database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Tycho

Use Oracle RAC Database 10g on SunOS nova 5.9

Hello!
We use Oracle RAC Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0 - 64bit that consist of two nodes on SunOS nova 5.9 Generic_117171-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440.
Connection string as follows:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host1)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host2)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=proddb))).
Clustered Java application performs direct JDBC INSERT of record into database throw oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource.
Table got the following fields:
FIELD1 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FIELD2 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FIELD3 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FIELD4 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
FIELD5 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
FIELD6 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
FIELD7 INTEGER,
FIELD8 BLOB,
FIELD9 BLOB
Approx in 60 milliseconds another application node performs SELECT of that record, which return void result. However next SELECT returns needed result.
Defect is occurs with 50% probability.
Whether problem is connected with defect in Oracle RAC/JDBC Driver?
Thanks in advance!

RAC propogates commit messages using a method which piggy-backs on the next available inter-instance message. I think it's called the Lampart Method, but anyways .... it means you have an uncontrollable delay between committed data in your two instances.
Look at the init.ora parameter max_commit_propagation_delay, and consider setting it to 0. The parameter is briefly described in the Oracle Reference Guide.

Enterprise User Security and Password Policies

Hi!
I'm testing Enterprise User Security. Till now everything has gone ok, I can connect to my db using oid users.
Now I'm configuring OID password policies for my realm but it seems that these are not applied when I connect through db. For example, I can try to logon with a wrong password as many time as I want, although in policies a limit of three is set.
Is this correct?!

If you're not using DB 10.2 this is the "expected" behavior for the DB. See also metalink note 351170.1 "Enterprise Users Can Connect to a Database when the OID Account is Disabled"

Sun Fire V490 x 2 servers with Oracle RAC facing Split brain problem

Hi all,
I have Sun Fire V490 x 2 servers with Oracle RAC and they faced a Split brain problem. One of the node's database instance has gone down, The DBA claims it is due to network problem, but as such the networks are OK. We use the on board CE1 interface for Cluster interconnect and CE0 as the public interface.
Did anybody face this kind of a problem? Could this be a hardware/OS patch problem?
I had kept a continuous ping for 24 hours after this happened last time and the output shows no packet loss
Many thanks in advance.
Ushas Symon

In order to diagnose this properly, you'll need to provide too much detail and far too many log files for a generic discussion forum to handle.
Use your service contract and open a support case.
Because a cluster environment is involved you'll likely end up talking to the cluster support staff.
They can analyze hardware and software errors as well as review whether you configured the systems in a supportable fashion.
Be prepared to make a direct connection to each system and gather data using such as by using the Explorer tool. The technical support staff will tell you what they will actually need.

Enterprise User Security, How do I store the DB password somewhere else?

Hi Guys,
I'm running Oracle 11gR2 and OID 11gR1.
Right now I have enterprise user security working, however I would like to decouple Apps / Directory password from the DB password in OID.
I understand that I can stick the password in orclpasswordverifier.
I have tried to add a new Password Verifier in OID, set up the appropriate appID in the password verifier, added the orclpasswordverifier.<appid> = password into my user but the set up refuses to go to orclpasswordverifier.<appid> it still uses the value of userpassword and orclpassword. I have also read the manual like 5 times.
I've even tried to move the Password Verifier around, to root DBSecurity context, to my domain's context, swapped around the appid value, but no matter what it doesn't seem to work.
Any advise please?

I could able to find out the solution for the first item by looking at the forums and some documentation.
We can specify the some part of the URL in the cgicmd.dat file as a key value pairs, which is located in <Oracle-Home>/reports/conf
testreports: userid=scott/tiger@ORCL destype=CACHE server=ust %*
Here the key is -- testreports
Now new URL to access the report like
http://localhost:7778/reports/rwservlet?cmdkey=testreports&report=sample_report.rdf&desformat=pdf&p_from_date=02-MAY-2006&p_to_date=03-SEP-2006
You can see that Key is passed as cmdkey=testreports
Please do remember that you have to append %* at the end of the key, this will allow part of the Key specified in the config file and part will be supplied in the URL

RMAN backup in ORACLE RAC database

Hi there,
We are using RMAN backup strategy for taking backups from one node(eg.node1).Database is RAC database, version 9.2.3. and OS is Solaris 5.10.
this is the configuration which we use, as follows:
Connecting to Prod.Database using catalog database.
rman catalog=rman/rman@CATDB target=sys/oracle@PRODDB(node 2).
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 30;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/rmanback/_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 5;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/CMWPROD_%s.bak';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK CONNECT 'SYS/oracle@PRODDB(node2)';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO 7 G;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/9.2.3/dbs/snapcf_CMWPROD1.f';
As the above config shows RMAN is connecting to PROD DB (node 2). But we need to take backups (datafiles and as well as archive logs) from two nodes (i.e from node 1 and as well as node 2).
Is there any possibility for taking backups from two nodes?
Thanks,
Balu.

Oracle 6i forms issue with Oracle 9i Database

Hi Friends,
I am having Oracle Forms Developer installed with patchset18.The Version is 6.0.8.27.0
When i connect the forms builder to 9i Database (9.2.0.1) the form builder is getting crashed but i am able to connect the forms builder to e-business suite database(9.2.0.6)
I tried installing 9i Database(9.2.0.1) on windows 2003 server,windows xp,windows 2000.
When i connect my forms builder to any of these databases the forms builder is crashing with don't send message error on (ifbld60.exe).
Is there any compatibility issue between forms builder(6i) and oracle 9i(9.2.0.1).Please suggest me.
Regards,
Arun .N

Forms 6i connects to Oracle 9 databases just fine, even though it is no longer certified by Oracle.
First of all, can you connect to the database with SQL Plus? Make sure that works first.
The other thing that comes to mind is the AL32UTF8 character set. Forms 6i and other older Oracle software cannot connect to databases using it. But I have only seen that problem with Oracle 10g databases, so I am not sure about the Oracle 9 db.
Here is a thread discussing the problem: Re: connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition
