Oracle Database Vault configuration requirements

I was tasked with gathering requirements for an Oracle Database Vault project. The system has already been installed but I need some assistance on what types of questions I will need to ask regarding the configuration of the system to make sure I have covered what is needed to make sure the project is successful. Can someone help me with this? I am preparing for the elicitation but I have hit a brick wall. Someone please help!

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

After going through your post what i found is you need to import the dump file using the system user. The user you are using has not got the permission that are required. So if you want to try you can import your dump using system user.
please test it on some test server before doing it actually.

Exports with Oracle Database Vault

Hi!
I've running a Database in version 10.2.0.4 and it has installed Oracle Database Vault, wich is running quite well...
I'm trying to export a schema that is protected with a REALM and only the owner of that schema has permision to access the data. So, users like sys o system can´t access to the data of the schema. It's the aim of Database Vault and it do it well.
The problem is that I'm performing a export of that schema and it run successfully! I have the .dmp file which I can import in other Databases (with Database Vault no installed) and it runs perfectly!
So... if Database Vault avoid that user sys can access the data, why it permit to perfom EXPORTS??
Thank,
tom

Bump. Thanks.

No Oracle database vault component found in Oracle database 10g software?

No Oracle Database Vault component found in Oracle database 10g software. Where can I get the Oracle Database Vault software(10g)?

Database Vault is not a include by default into the database server software. You have to install it in addition of the Database Server Software.
You can download it from :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database_vault/index.html
Note, you need to have "Oracle Label Security" and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console" previously installed in your ORACLE_HOME.
Find out more in the install doc :

Oracle Database Vault 11g installation

Hi,
I want to know the installation steps for Oracle Database Vault (11g-version:11.1.0.6).
Is there any document which specifies the installation steps.
I have the document for 10g - Database Vault installation. But i am not able to find any specific document for 11g Database Vault installation.
As per my understanding Database Vault 11g is one of the Enterprise Edition options in Custom installation. But still i want to know the pre-requisites for Database Vault installation (ex: Enterprise Manager Console). If any one did the 11g Database Vault installation, request to share the details.
Thanks inadvance.

Unable to create new user using Oracle Database vault

Hi,
can somebody help me to autorize user other then SYS user (e.g. system) to CREATE new and ALTER users when my database is secured by Oracle database vault with default installation settings;
Thanks

Reading the DV docs would be a great place to start.
Consider, for a moment, that if the normal privileges provided to SYS using DV worked the same as they do in a regular database you wouldn't have a data vault you'd have a regular database.
After you read the docs log on and try the following:
SELECT username
FROM dba_users
WHERE username LIKE 'DV%';Aha!

Apex with Oracle Database Vault

Can someone point me to some document/whitepaper that describes how to setup Apex to work with Oracle Database Vault?
My understanding is that data in tables secured by Vault's realms is not accessible even to DBAs (select any table) which is great. But how that does impact Apex applications? The data would have to to be accessible to the app's parsing schema. So unauthorized users can still gain access to the data via the Apex app instead of direct database access. Does Apex provide for tighter integration with Vault to prevent this sort of access?
Thanks

Bump. Thanks.

REG:Oracle Database Vault Implementation .

Hi ,
I want to Implement the Database Vault on my Oracle Applications(12.1.3) Database with 11.2 version .
My Database is monitored using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control , so should i have to again implement database console for that database in order to implement DB Vault ?
Regards .

My Database is monitored using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control , so should i have to again implement database console for that database in order to implement DB Vault ?No need to configure anything until you will define any policy at DBSNMP account.
As OEM perform database monitoring by agent running on target which will make connectivity with DBSNMP account in database.
So if you're not doing anything on this account then monitoring will not get impacted.

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.
