Global db authentication on Standard Edition DB

Hi everybody,
is there a way to configure global db authentication (authentication of a db user against an ldap server, such as AD), without Oracle Advanced Security (we have a Standard Ed. DB)?
Thanks in advance

If you want the database to check against LDAP, then NO. Because this check is not done by the database, but trather by the Oracle Networking layer and that is part of the Advanced Security Option.
IF on the other hand, you are happy to use local access and OPS$ accounts, then you should be OK.

  • Express vs Standard Edition One

    Is there much difference between the Express Edition and Standard Edition One single cpu? I built a web application using mod_plsql. In load testing the application it works fine with this configuration:
    - 1 hyper-threaded CPU 3 MHz xenon
    - 1 gig SGA
    - Total datafile size is 3G
    I was planning on turning off hyper-threading and buying a single cpu SE1 license, however after looking into XE it may be possible to save $5000.
    In testing I am using 10gR1 EE with the Companion CD for apache / mod_plsql functionality.
    Can XE can do:
    - mod_plsql on port 443 (https)
    - UTL_HTTP.SET_WALLET for https request on port 443
    Is the Companion CD also free?

    Brian,
    I built a web
    application using mod_plsql. In load testing the
    application it works fine with this configuration:
    - mod_plsql on port 443 (https)See this thread for configuring the Apache for https in front of an XE installation: HTTPS with Oracle XE ?
    Porting a mod_plsql application to XE should definitely work in general.
    Here are the exceptions to the rule we have experienced / discussed in this forum so far:
    1) there might be a bug in the htp.init function (as of the beta release)
    htp.init throws exception
    If you don't clear the htp buffer between calls, you should be fine.
    2) Authentication by CustomOwa is not supported and you need a different way of authenticating your users: DBMS_EPG DAD authentication using CustomOwa
    Here is another helpful thread on configuring the DADs:
    Using DAD's without specifying a password

  • RMAN Backup Standard Edition

    Hey, I have 2 node rac on 10.2.0.4.0 with Standard Edition. (SLES10)
    No rman catalog is used.
    I like to perform a daily level 0 backup of my database by running this:
    BACKUP incremental level 0 format '/backup/%d_LVL0_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' database
    PLUS ARCHIVELOG format '/backup/%d_AL_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' delete input;
    How could I restore this backup on a different node, hence duplicate db is not available on standard edition?
    Do I need to create a rac instance on a kind of a standby system ? (say 2 virtual machines waiting for the disaster case)
    What about tnsnames,listener, etc....
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    if you can read German, than this may help you/give you an idea:
    http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/dbadmin/tipps/RMAN_II_Restore/index.html
    => So simply copy all your backup to the new machine
    => You don't need RAC on the second machine. In this case you have to make some changes to the spfile (after you restored it).
    => All files external to the datbase have to be maintained manually (listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, passwordfile etc.)
    Regards
    Sebastian

  • Standby db-EE edition and Standard edition

    Dear friends,
    10g on solaris 10.
    What are the differences in standby db when using a enterprise edition and standard edition ?..
    Any input will be of great help
    Kai

    Niall and team
    I have read your presentation - "You Probably Don't need dataguard" and I tried it out on test database. I setup a manual standby database, archivelog is manually copied to standby db.
    Maybe you have an idea on regarding SCN or archivelog that is not present but Oracle is asking/suggestion during recovery procedure..
    environment:
    2 virtual box - Solaris 10 Virtual Machine host on Windows XP
    Oracle 10.2.0 Standard Edition
    Primary DB host name: SE
    Standby DB host name: SE2
    archive dest = /export/home/oracle/archive (same on both machine)
    db file = /export/home/oracle/oradata/se , /export/home/oracle/oradata/se2 --> so I used db_file convert parameter in init.ora
    Steps:
    On the newly created database, create a test table and insert values.
    SQL> create table test(a number) tablespace users;
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into test values(&a);
    Enter value for a: 1

    Again, insert some values to test table,
    SQL> insert into test values(&a);
    Enter value for a: 33
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(33)

    Question: Why Oracle is asking archivelog that does not exist? I noticed in other exercise that you can use the redo log instead of archive log that does not exist. Is this because when we create the standby control file, the SCN is in sync with redo log.

    OK, that means that archive log 5 and archivelog 6 are applied to STBY database.
    Question. Why Oracle is asking the arc 7 , is it correct to say that last SCN is based on arc 5 and arc 6. Or is it Oracle behavior to ask the "next" SCN, after the arc 6. when performing recovery? ... that's why we have CANCEL.
    Appreciate your response on this..

  • Connection/Network encryption in Oracle Standard Edition 11gR2

    Does the Oracle 11gR2 Standard Edition support any network encryption for SQL*Plus or JDBC thin clients? I don't have "Oracle Advanced Security" installed, is this required to support any encryption of data send across a network?

Please verify the current status of the certification at the Cryptographic Modules Validation Program Web site address:
    That is the first statement which leads me to believe the manual hasn't been updated for 11G. Please confirm.
    I am not an Oracle employee and so can neither confirm nor deny any statement they make. I'd suggest this is something you probably should be discussing directly with someone in authority at Oracle. Perhaps start with a sev4 (information request) SR.

  • License in Standard Edition with RAC

    Hi,
    I have to install:
    2 nodes in RAC configuration with Standard Edition in active/passive configuration.
    License per CPU.
    Do I need license for both nodes?
    If not, is anywhere official note about this situation?
    There is no word about it in Oracle Technology Global Price List.
    Thanks for replay
    Podkov

    The [Software Investment Guide|http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.html] has some more information on this. It mentions that you only have to license one host in a 'failover' configuration where 'nodes are arranged in a cluster and share one disk array' as long as you use the second server for a maximum of 10 days per year. However, they don't mention RAC, only Oracle Failsafe, so it is not really that clear (to me).
    You should discuss this with your Oracle (or Oracle Partner) sales rep.

  • Migrating windows 2003 standard edition  to windows 2008 enterprise edition

    Hi
    We are using ECC 5.0 and our PRD system is running on windows 2003 standard edition,and recently we have got some physical memory problem.as windows 2003 standard edition supports only 4 GB of RAM. and we want to extend our RAM for that we are planning to upgrade os to windows 2008 enterprise edition,is that possible.and after upgrading OS what are the activities that need to be performed for SAP to run succesfully,kindly suggest.
    Regards
    Pranav

    Hi Markus
    I read note SAP Note 690432 - Windows 2003 Support in it regarding upgradation of os  windows 2003 standard edition to windows 2003 enterprise edition.
    Upgrade of Your Operating System
    If you upgrade an existing SAP system to Windows Server 2003 perform the
    following actions:
    o Install the latest R3DLLINS
    You find the latest dynamic link libraries R3DLLINS for Windows
    Server 2003 on the EXT-Kernel CD in the NTPATCH directory.
    o Replace the R/3 kernel with the EXT-Kernel.
    If you do not replace it you will get error "SICK" after the first
    logon attempt after the start.
    In this case, download the disp+work package(s) from the SAP
    Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/patches and unpack the
    patch(es) to directory usr\sap\exe:
    dw*_<patch-level>
    Use at least patch level 186.
    o Use the latest saposcol version.
    This version supports the changed performance counter of Windows
    Server 2003 to determine values for ST06 and RZ20.
    You can find the latest version in file saposcol_<Patch Level>.CAR.
    in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    o SAP DB only: See SAP Note 315237.o Compatibility of the Hardware with Windows Server 2003
    You can perform the upgrade to Windows Server 2003 only if the
    hardware has been explicitly released for this purpose. To check,
    do one of the following:
    - If the Windows Server 2003 CD is available, check compatibility
    with WINNT32.EXE in the \I386 directory. The exact statement
    is: <DRIVE:>\I386\WINNT32 /CHECKUPGRADEONLY. The result is
    stored as text file WINNT32.LOC in the present Windows
    directory (e.g. C:\WINNT).
    - The hardware has successfully passed SAP hardware certification
    (http://www.addon.de).
    - The hardware is contained in the Microsoft Hardware
    Compatibility List (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl).
    - The hardware has been released for Windows Server 2003 by the
    manufacturer. This information is published on the
    corresponding website.
    o Kerberos Single Sign-On
    When the SAP system is installed on Windows Server 2003 you can
    setup the Kerberos Single Sign-On. If you use the kerberos protocol
    the information exchanged between the SAP frontend and the
    application server for authentication is encrypted.
    The procedure for setting up Single Sign-On is described in all
    recent installation guides which you can download from the SAP
    Service Marketplace at: service.sap.com/instguides.
    o SAP domain under Windows Server 2003
    Follow the instructions of the Windows documentation for the
    migration of a Windows NT 4 domain to Windows 2003. For the SAP
    environment some additional points need to be observed.
    For Windows NT 4 there are two models for the SAP system domain:
    - Single domain
    All users and the SAP system build one single domain. This
    domain can be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and exist there
    as single domain.
    - Additional domain
    There is one domain for the users and a second domain for the
    SAP system(s). For a migration to Windows Server 2003 the SAP
    system domain has to be created as child domain under the user
    domain. A "Top-down" procedure is to be used. The higher domain
    (the user domain) must be migrated prior to the SAP child
    domain. If the user and SAP domain is part of a larger domain
    structure the complete domain structure for Windows Server 2003
    needs to be planned in a preparing phase. Usually, the
    structure created under Windows NT 4 has to be re-arranged and
    consolidated.
    The name space of the root domain and all sub-ordinated domains
    has to be defined and the distribution of the DNS services
    needs to be determined.
    Note the following:
    The SAP domain has to be created as child domain.
    The SAP domain must not be converted into an organizational
    unit (OU). OUs are not supported by R3SETUP and R3up.
    in it nowhere it is mentioned about system copy so plz suggest.

  • Oracle 9iAS Standard Edition licensing question

    What, if anything, can be stored in OID if I purchase 9iAS standard edition? Here is my configuration:
    * Login via Oracle Portal
    * I need to support both authentication and authorization at the web and EJB levels
    Obviously, the security info needs to be stored in some JNDI-compliant server. Can that server be OID or do I need to store in the file-based provider (jazn-data.xml)?
    If I cannot use OID, has anyone successfully used a different LDAP server with 9iAS?
    Thanks,
    Ara

    Hello,
    You have 2 questions here:
    1. How can I stack multiple OS licence in order to have more virtualization rights (more VMs) running on that host?
    2. How can I stack Windows CAL licence from OEM.
    Answers are:
    1. You only have to licence the original licence on the physical host. You can use the same license key for all 4 VMs or use 2 VM key from the first package and 2 VM keys from the second licence package you just bought.
    There is nowhere to register those licence, except one by one inside the VM themselves.
    You have to keep all licence document in case of control by Microsoft.
    2. Windows CAL allows a user (or a computer) to connect to an unlimited number of Windows Server within your company network. You have 10 CAL so you can have up to 10 users or computers in your company that will connect to your servers (even if you have 1.000
    servers)
    There is nowhere to register those licence, except one by one inside the VM themselves.
    You have to keep all licence document in case of control by Microsoft.
    Regards
    PS: The only licence that require maintenance and central registration are Remote Desktop Licences.
    MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010 MCTS: Lync Server 2010, Configuring MCSE
    That is what I thought as I was told before even seen licensing details except a direction of how to attach the second license and I had to make sure. Thank you

    Because I need to make all this work automatically, so I have to
    1. Avoid copying manually archived files from primary database to secondary database
    2. Avoid launching manually the recover command above
    Question:
    a) Does someone have any idea on how to avoid the message in red above? ( the message is normal but I just need to not want it to be displayed)
    b) archived files copied can be corrupted therefore preveting the secondary database to recover, my current solution here is to multiplex archived files to avoid a single point of failure.
    My question is to ask you guys if there is another way to prevent archived file to be corrupted before and after being copied?
    c) Technically Logminer can be used to rollback transactions in case unwanted changes were committed, as I'm working on standard edition, there is another way to rollback a change not using Logminer?
    d) I know that it's obvious using Enterprise Edition to fully configure data guard, but as cash flow is not enough, does some one give another disavantage on implementing this techninque(simalating data guard on standard edition)?
    e) What else could you guys advise, base on your experience in this technique?
    I trully need your help as I have never deal with this technique and I need much information to let know my boss in case he decided to go ahead with this.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    What I'm seeing is that you have to automate by yourself the recovery mode through a scripts at OS level every time new archived file is shipped.
    example:
    a script a OS level a script may contain: recover standby database and could be triggered after X time?
    Does some one have any tweak on how to send archive log on remote site without using data guard feature ?
    Thanks in advance

    Please help As i am running out of time as i have to upgrade TFS for that first step is to install SQL server.

    Hello,
    The following are a few things you can try:
    Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
    Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
    msiexec /unregister
    msiexec /regserver
    Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
    Hope this helps.

  • Anyone using ms sqlserver standard edition with XI 3.0

    wondering if anyone is successfully using ms sqlserver standard edition (not enterprise edition) with XI 3.0. I would like to set up a dev/test XI system and the standard sqlserver edition is less expensive than enterprise edition. I would like to confirm that it works ok first.
    thanks-

    Henry,
    I haven't tried but I think it will be successful with mssql server standard edition also. The following link gives the key difference between standard and enterprise edition.
