Oracle AVDF Database Firewall - Logs

Hi all,
We are using Oracle Audit Vault & Database Firewall 12.1.0. We are having some issues and we are trying to find log files on the Database Firewall Server (OS). We do know where logs are located in Audit Vault Server, we just need to find out where are those of DBFW.
Thank You.

Hi,
I had to login with root and do the next:
cd /
find * -mtime -1 | more
this show the file modified on the last hour .... in my case does not work because I had a problem with conditions on alerts.

  • Oracle AVDF Database Firewall -  Status check error

    Hi all,
    We are using Oracle Audit Vault & Database Firewall 12.1.0. After checking the status of the database Firewall, in the diagnostic report, we keep getting the following errors:
         Checking bridges:                                                                       - FAILED                                       
         Checking permissions on policy file oracle-policy_62.xml          - FAILED
    The first error goes away if we manually delete from system every traffic source/proxy configuration file, but as soon as we create a new one from management console, the error returns.
    The second error is about the file `oracle-policy_62.xml`, we have located it in the directory /usr/local/dbfw/upload/ and as I can tell from reading it, it is a kind of configuration file of the active firewall policy on the secure target. So, what can it be?
    Thank You.

  • Oracle AVDF Database Firewall - NIC's

    Hi all,
    We are using Oracle Audit Vault & Database Firewall 12.1.0.Currently we have only two NICs available for Database Firewall. What can we do with this number of NICs? Do we need three for DAM mode ? Not according Oracle Docs, but from your experience please, we have already read the docs...

  • 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 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.

  • Confused in oracle database firewall

    Dear all,
    I'm working on lab for oracle database firewall. Document on Oracle database Firewall reading have a lot of limit to understand for configuring.
    Anyone can help me in this lab:
    situation of lab:
    - Install oracle database firewall on one machine which have two networkd card, (for monitor only using span port group on switch).
    - For testing, I install local monitor on SQL express 2005 server (script for SQL server), Unfortunately, In this lab document don't give a solution for communicating between SQl server and Database Firewall, How can I configure SQL server to communicate with database firewall,
    thanks anh best regard,

    Hello, user12326737,
    I think you should check if you are following these guidelines:
    When using a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later database, ensure that the database uses mixed-mode authentication.
    Local monitoring uses a source IP address of 0.0.0.0, and port 0, for statements originating from a console user or other process. The destination address (displayed in the traffic log) is the same as one of the protected databases being monitored.
    Local monitoring does not record duplicate SQL statements. It only records the last SQL statement in a set of duplicate SQL statements.
    Local Monitor does both a forward and reverse DNS lookup to determine if a session is from the local machine. If a DNS configuration is broken and prevents the server from doing the lookup successfully, then the Local Monitor cannot record console events. To ensure that Local Monitor records all local sessions, check that your DNS configuration is correct.
    If you do, then tell me.
    If you have any questions, ask.

    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.
    That's the proper location for Audit Vault questions.

  • 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,

  • Connect Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database behind a firewall

    I need to connect an Oracle 10g client to the Oracle 10g database (windows server 2003 box) behind a firewall. I ran into this problem: Port redirection. Port redirection requires the Oracle client to connect to the database using a different port (usually a randomly selected TCP port) than the default or originally configured one. If there is no firewall between the server and the client, port redirection will not affect the actual connection. However, if port redirection does occur with the server behind a firewall, the client will be likely to suffer from a connectivity failure. The reason is simple: the newly assigned port based on port redirection is often blocked by the firewall. Such failures are not uncommon on Windows platforms.
    I don't know how to stablished an unique TCP port.
    I Enabled USE_SHARED_SOCKET on the Oracle database server, windows registry. Acording to what I read,that will force the server machine to share its port 1521 and thus all clients will stay on that port when connecting to the database. Noticeably, port redirection will not occur with USE_SHARED_SOCKET enabled, but that's true in oracle 8 or oracle 9. In oracle 10g this solution doesn't work.
    I will apreciate any help about this. Please!
    Thanks in advanced.

    Three solutions in order of preference
    1 Use Connection Manager on the server (only installed using a Custom Install). This will tunnel all traffic through a single port. It will also allow you to configure allowable nodes
    2 Set up shared server to use a fixed port. Disadvantage: shared server has overhead and the number of connections is limited
    3 Use shared_sockets. Disadvantage: when you stop the listener everyone is disconnected.

  • Why don't we keep Oracle Database ARCH logs in RAW devices

    Hi All,
    Why don't we keep Oracle Database ARCH logs in RAW devices?
    How ARCH process is related to Block Device and Character Device ?
    Thanks,
    Tusar
    Edited by: user11987718 on 26-Jun-2012 09:59

    Why don't we keep Oracle Database ARCH logs in RAW devices? 1.This is because raw devices do not enable sequential writing of consecutive archive log files.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/rman.htm#RACAD320
    2.with raw you have to specify the exact size of the file at creation time, in contrast with file system, where you can create file without specifying its size, start writing to it, apending new blocks to it until you are done, and thus creating a file of whatever size it needs to be to hold all information.
    http://www.dbasupport.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-16429.html
    3.raw file systems are difficult to manage because you cannot run normal os commands on them.(as there is no file systems)
    How ARCH process is related to Block Device and Character Device ?A block device would read/write bytes in fixed size blocks, as in disk sectors. Character devices read/write 0 or more bytes, in a stream, such as a TTY or a keyboard.
    For more details about what is block and character device type :
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_file
    And now think, how arch process is related to block and character devices.
