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,

Hello,
Someone has or had any experience on implementing "Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall" in a SAP environment?
I would like to know the impacts of this implementation for SAP System.
Is there anything we have to concern about it from SAP side?

Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall

Hi All,
I understand that by design the OAVDF resilient pairs doesn't support DPE mode. Is there any other operational way of achieving this.The reason we look for this is to configure high availability. In case if a secured target is placed in DPE(Proxy) mode and if the primary firewall goes down,
Will the Secondary firewall just do only the monitoring activity for this secured target?
Is there any way(by shell scripts/network settings) to achieve high availability for DPE(Proxy) mode?
If the DB firewalls are placed as resilient pair, can we have DPE mode enabled for any enforcement point (say I don't need high availability for DPE mode) and in case of failover it automatically does the monitoring alone without blocking?
Version: OAVDF 12.1
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
regards,
Prem

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

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

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

Oracle audit vault collection

Hi All,
I have installed Oracle Audit vault server 10.3.0 on a linux 64 bit machine. I have installed the collection agent on my aix server. Registered the db with audit vault. Enabled the collectors.
avctl show_collector_status -collname DBAUD_Collector -srcname DBA
Getting collector metrics...
Collector is running
Records per second = 0.13
Bytes per second = 20.91

But when I am trying to view the reports by loading the warehouse, I am getting the below error:

Why it is referring to 03-OCT-2011 ? how do i view the reports.
Am I missing something!!

Hi,
The error is that this agent already exists. If you added it before inadvertently, you will have to provide a new agent name.
avca add_agent -agentname agent1 -agenthost salesdb.us.example.com
AVCA started
Adding agent...
Enter agent user name: agentusername
Enter agent user password: agent user pwd
Re-enter agent user password: agent user pwd
Agent added successfully.
Thanks.

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.

Oracle Audit Vault installation fails on DVCA assistant + libpthread.so.0

Hello experts, I did this post at general forums but nobody noticed anything, I need your help
I am able to install the Oracle Audit Vault Server on the following features:
OS: Suse Linux 10 SP 2
Clusterware version: 11.1.0 6
The Oracle Audit Vault server installation procces creates the database an starts the instances on each node and notice me the url for the Enterprise Manager but after that it fails at DVCA assistante because is not able to load the shared library libpthread.so.0.
I found in internet that some time there are files like srvctl, vipca, etc tha export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL ant we have to comment that line, but I do not found the line in those files. I just found in the crsctl file this line like
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
PD: The libpthread.so.0 library already exist
Should I comment this line at crsctl file?
Thank you in advance.

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.

Oracle Audit Vault 12.1.2 installation

Hi,
I am trying to install audit vault 12.1.2 using RHEL5 and virtualbox.
Installed virtualbox VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.16_95972_el5-1 on Linux 2.6.18-398.0.0.0.1.el5. In virtualbox, I have chosen OS type as Linux and version as Oracle 64-bit. When I try to boot the virtualbox with audit vault .iso image, the installation is not progressing and hang with the message "P11X4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later".
Please advice whether the mentioned environment/method is supported for audit vault installation.
