RDBMSRealm and system user

Hello,
I have adapted the RDBMSRealm in WLS 5.1 sp4. It seems to work well (in most
cases) but I still have a couple of questions regarding de RDBMSRealm. Can
someone enlight me?
-Where should the system user be defined? When I place the system user in
the RDBMSRealm and not in de weblogic.properties, the WLS won't come up!
Should the system user thus allways be put in the weblogic.properties? If
so, does that mean all ACL regarding system user should be in the
weblogic.properties file?
- What is the purpose of the getPrincipal method in the RDBMSRealm (not
RDBMSDelegate)? It is not part of one of the Realm interfaces. I commented
it out.
- When I turn on the Realm debug mode. I see the system password in a debug
line in the weblogic.log (<CachingRealm> getAclOwner("system01") ).
Shouldn't this be crossed out as with reading password properties, BEA?

The system user has to be in the weblogic.properties file. I'm not sure about
the ACL issue with the system
user, but I would think that any acl containing the system user would also have
to be in the weblogic.properties file.

    Hi;
    1. How can I log in to SYS account despite being locked. Is it because i logged in through external authentication?set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID than
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    alter user xx account unlock;
    2. Is locking the SYS user a standard practise ? If so, why ?
    SYS and SYSTEM are default users, created with the creation of the database. Although they have much power - as they are granted the DBA role - they're still ordinary users. Because SYS owns the data dictionary, (s)he is considered a bit more special than SYSTEM. But SYS has the SYSDBA privilege which SYSTEM doesn't. This makes it possible for SYS to become a very very powerful user. This is the case when (s)he connects as sys/password as SYSDBA or / as sysdba. The as sysdba phrase is a request to aqcuire the privileges associated wht the single SYSDBA system privileges (see here).

  • Lock sys and system user

    Dear all,
    We have 10.2.0.4 on solaris 10.
    Currently we had I.T audit on our environment and auditor commented to lock sys and system user and use one user with any name (not oracle generic name) and grant him sys and system privilege and to use this user for admin purposes. is this right ?.. is this recommended ?
    Please advise

    Hello,
    I think it's not a right way to lock SYS.
    More over, if you connect as OS Administrator (root for Unix/linux) on the server and use
    OS Authentification then, you can connect on SYS AS SYSDBA anyway.
    So, in fact, it's not possible to lock out SYS even if you execute the following:
    ALTER USER SYS ACCOUNT LOCK;If you want to prevent access on SYS you should set a complex and long password and
    apply the same rule for the Administrator / root OS user.
    These passwords must be known by very few and well - identified people and written nowhere
    (in any files or scripts).
    More over, you should limit DBA roles to SYS and SYSTEM and remove this powerful Role
    from other Oracle Users.
    Then, you may enable session AUDIT so as to control the connexion on the database and,
    create a LOGON TRIGGER so as to check the login, workstation, program of the end users
    who connect to the database.
    On 10g, EM DBConsole shows an alert everytime a User is connected with SYS.

  • Difference between Communication and System User

    Hello All,
    I would like to know the difference between the Communication User and System User.
    Definition wise, Yes, I know what they are for?
    But My doubt is, why do we need a communication user type for RFC connections when we can use a System user.
    Why did SAP designed these two types of users?

    It's okay in my books for people to experience the internet as it is and not the way it was individually intended
    SU01Solution already solved the problem actually, but there are some very fine peripheral differences still between the user types.
    That is why asking a specific question and discussing it's merits / pro's and con's is the best approach and SAP also benefits from it.
    Another obvious difference if you do a simple search is that SYSTEM type users cannot issue SAP logon tickets.
    There are a few more but as I said these are peripheral and very use-case dependent... so SU01Solution needs to ask a proper and realistic question.
    ps: ST01 is not the answer here either...
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • Difference between SYS and SYSTEM user

    Hi,
    Well, one of my colleagues have asked me the difference between SYS and SYSTEM user .. Normally these are the users which will be under the monitoring of the DBA .. So, how could I know the difference between these two users ..
    Please assist me
    Regards

    SYS is the owner of the database and the owner of the data dictionary.
    The objects belonging to SYS cannot be exported. But SYS has the SYSDBA privilege which SYSTEM doesn't.
    SYSTEM is a privileged administration user, and typically owns Oracle provided tables other than the dictionary.
    SYSDBA is not a role, it is a privilege. You'll find it in system_privilege_map, not in dba_roles.

  • Forgotten Sys and System user passwords

    In the case of forgetting the Sys and the System user passwords, is there anyway of logging on with privilages to be able to change these passwords, if not, are there any other solutions?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    In order for "/ as sysdba" to work, you need to run
    the password file creation utility (orapwd).
    No, it has nothing to do with the password file. In order for "connect / as sysdba" to succeed, it is necessary to have an operating system account which is a member of the "osdba group". In Windows, this OS group is : "ORA_DBA". Any member of this group can and has privileges to connect "/ as sysdba". Again, it has nothing to do with password file.
    In Windows there is another condition for it to work :
    The file %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\sqlnet.ora must have the following line :
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
    In Unix systems, the osdba group is configured at installation and is conventionally named "dba".

  • Grants from SYS and SYSTEM user

    Hi All,
    Please help me to understand this problem.
    I have some schema named maps_ref where I am creating a view.( table abc ,view abc01).
    Here I have granted the create view,create any view privs to maps_ref by connecting SYS as SYSDBA.
    It alllowed me to create the view.
    Just as a try, I revoked the privs by connecting as SYSTEM and it revoked the privs granted by SYS as SYSDBA.
    Later obviously I could not create the view.
    Does it mean that grants given by SYS as SYSDBA can be taken back from SYSTEM though SYSDBA is more powerful then SYSTEM?
    I am little bit confused how it worked? Please explain.

  • Prevent imports to sys and system users

    I work at a company who develops an Application the uses an Oracle database. Many times we receive a full system export. I want to prevent my users from importing all the schema's, and just import from the schema that contains our data. Since the user name of the export is different from the user that does the import, I have granted them the IMP_FULL_DATABASE right. Almost all our customers use the same name for the schema, so if we want to look at the data of more then one customer, we need to import to another schema.
    I am running two test servers, one for Oracle 10 and one for Oracle 11 on Oracle Linux. And I am already using one separate account to let them import and export the data, and to create the user.
    Is there a way to prevent users from importing to the system, sys and other oracle schema's, without limiting schema imports of other Oracle servers?

    If you know which schema data you want to import into your database from the export dump , you can use shema leavel import . Also if you are using datapump you can use remap schema option.

  • Communicating with LMS and System Users

    Thanks in advance for your help. I am looking for a solution and wondering if my request is even possible. Our training module needs to be able to communicate with our clients LMS and determine whether a user has taken our course previously or not. This functionality should guide the user to a specific path depending on their history. Is this even possible!? if so PLEASE HELP! Thanks again in advance!
    Hines,

    If you manage to get the LMS to send this information in the form of a URL variable (e.g. www.mycourse.com?userName=Fred&doneCourseBefore=1) then there are ways to get that information from the URL via Javascript and then ActionScript into the course.
    I think Jim Lechlitner wrote a post on something similar a while back on these forums.  He's the JavaScript guru around here. I couldn't find the exact post, but here's one that should get you some useful info about using JS with Captivate: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3645857#3645857

  • Transactional access to Communications and System ID

    Hello Experts,
    Can the communications Id execute transactions in SAP other than performing RFC execution?
    Is it a suggested solution to let these non-dialog id's have transactional access from Audit perspective?
    Appreciate your inputs.
    Regards,
    Sandeep

    Sandeep,
    Communication users and system users are both non-interactive accounts. I
    consistently use system accounts. I found that communication accounts need to have their password changed on first logon, which is somewhat cumbersome with a non-dialog account....
    If you notice RFC user profiles, they usually have SAP_ALL ,SAP_NEW. __There are able to execute the transactions_.
    There are reasons for denying SAP_ALL in PS environment.
    no-one should have this in any system. SAP_ALL enables you to 'jump'
    systems using - for example - tx. SM59. they might in this way also jump to
    your PRD system AND -depending on the authorizations of the SM59 user- might then have another SAP_ALL again. this is not to be tolerated.
    If you are giving SAP_ALL in production for RFC users,then u need to convenice the aduitors.
    other Options for SAP_ALL is _firefighter role
    Communication
      For this kind of users:-
      GUI login is not possible.
      Users are allowed to change password through some software in middle tier.
      Usage:- These are used for login to system through external systems like web application
    System :
    GUI login is not possible.
      Initial password and expiration of passowrd are not checked.
      Usage:- These are used for internal use in system like background jobs.
    Service:
    GUI login is possible.
      Initial password and expiration of passowrd are not checked.
      Multiple logins are allowed.
      Users are not allowed to change the password. Only admin can change the password
      Usage:- These are used for anonymous users. This type of users should be given minimum authorization.
    dialog & service both are same,only difference in service user type is No password expiry.
    still user is able to logon thry GUI.
    Thanks,
    Sri
