SCOM database encryption

I've seem it said nowhere if the database for the Audit Collection service is encrypted. I see encrypting the backup but not the running database. Does that need to or can it be done via SQL TDE?

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no document indicate how we encrypt SCOM database, including ACS database.
There is an encryption key for secure data in the operational database, and with that key we can restore your SCOM database.
In addition, for database encryption, you may also post in the SQL forum for further assistance.

  • SCOM Database Queries

    Hello
    I am in the middle of the designing a fully customized dashboard for my SCOM 2012 database. I can use existing queries but they are not complete. I need my own queries but i don't know which SQL tables or views contain a specific monitor or management pack's
    data. those people who generate these queries how find it out? is there any reference or guide about SCOM database structure?
    Appreciate your responses.

    i had create a master key and a certificate under master database. and now i want to drop these certificate and master key from  this database and face with this error  :sg 3716, Level 16, State 15, Line 1
    The certificate 'TDECert' cannot be dropped because it is bound to one or more database encryption key .
    thanks in advance

    Have you enaled TDE for any user database? if yes, and you do not want to continue with having TDE encryption, then you need to run the first command by changing the dbname to that user database instead of master.
    ALTER DATABASE DBName SET ENCRYPTION OFF
    You can run below command to see if any database are encrypted using TDE
    Select is_encrypted,* from sys.databases

  • Database encryption in multitenant

    Hi,
    We need to implement database encryption TDE on certain columns for SAP in multitenant environment.
    We have unique client id per customer.
    How does the 'database' encryption work in an multi-tenant environment? What if one company want certain fields encrypted and other does not.

  • Database encryption supported in Exchange 2013?

    hi,
    according to this: 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998022(v=exchg.80).aspx
    MS doesn't support storing Exchange databases on  EFS volumes.
    Is the recommendation the same for Exchange 2013?
    Is there any support for encrypting databases in an Exchange 2013 environment other than in transit traffic?

  • Remove network device inventory from SCOM database

    Hello Gurus
    I have a quick question. I think one of the internal connectors in my SCOM environment has got deleted by mistake. As a result all the network devices that were being monitored previously has now disappeared. I believe because they were present in the database,
    I can't discover them now. Is it possible somehow to list those network devices from the database, and then delete them, by using powershell and/or SQL.
    Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,

    You can delete them by:
    In the Discovery Rules option under the Administration Tab, you will be able to see all the network devices that are discovered. This shows the devices that are discovered and currently getting monitored in SCOM. You can select multiple devices and then
    remove them.
    Then Run in powershell Get-RemotelyManagedDevice to check that all Network devices deleted.
    you can also check below link to remove/restore network device

  • Database Encryption Question

    Hi All,
    We have an application that insert records to a remote database over a database link. From what I understand, the remote database is not on our network, and is accessed over the internet, or some unsecured network.
    So, I am being asked about encrypting the data. I'm not sure what they are referring to. I've seen posts referring to an Oracle package called dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.
    Or perhaps they are talking about encrypting the data during transport to the remote database?
    Can anyone provide me some insight into the encrypting of the data, and whether it is stored in the database that way, or is it just while it is in transit.....
    Thanks.

    If you are using a single key to encrypt all the data, you would only have to transmit the key when it changed. Some applications need to change the key periodically (i.e. when someone with access to the key is terminated, when there is a security breach, every N days, etc). Some applications use different keys for different pieces of data.
    Oracle Advanced Security (OAS) is definitely easier to deal with-- you make a couple of configuration settings and you're done. Rolling your own solution requires code on both systems and can get somewhat painful if you need to encrypt a lot of columns. Your security also depends on the ability of the remote site to keep your shared key secret.
    If you're transmitting data that is mostly non-confidential but has the occasional confidential element (i.e. credit card #'s, social security #'s, etc), DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT is probably appropriate. If the majority of the data you're sending needs to be encrypted, particularly if that is a legal requirement, I would tend to favor OAS.

  • Database Encryption

    According to Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard:
    meet the following
    minimum comparable key bit security:
    • 80 bits for secret key based systems (for example TDES)
    • 1024 bits modulus for public key algorithms based on the factorization
    (for example, RSA)
    • 1024 bits for the discrete logarithm (for example, Diffie-Hellman) with a
    minimum 160 bits size of a large subgroup (for example, DSA)
    • 160 bits for elliptic curve cryptography (for example, ECDSA)
    So in order to store credit card details in my 10g DB I have 3 questions, I was wondering if someone can help me with:
    Which of these encryptions Oracle support ?
    Which is the most secure?
    Is there any other Oracle products that will encryupt my data?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Dear drbiloukos,
    many of our customers have used TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) for their PCI compliance projects and passed successfully. If you are on 10gR2, it's recommended to upgrade to 10.2..0.4 or 10.2.0.5 as these include bug fixes that reduce the performance impact, storage impact, and general usability. What application do you want to protect, a custom or a packaged application?
    Please, for more details, see:

  • SCOM database size

    Hi!
    I will install one SCOM2012 R2 Environment and use Microsoft "System Center 2012 Operations Manager
    Sizing Helper Tool v1" excel file to figure out the HW on the SCOM servers and the database.
    I suppose that the disk RAID recommendation is for SATA or SAS disks. What happens for example if the dedicated SCOM SQL server use
    local SSD disks. The SAS disk can handle up to 200 IOPS and SSD disk can handle up to 8000 IOPS.
    For example if I use the Sizing Helper and choose 500 Agent + 100 APM servers.
    Then the RAID will be:
    OpsMgr db = 4 disk RAID 10
    OpsMgrDW = 6 disk RAID 10
    Is it the same RAID recommendation for SSD disk or can it instead be:  
    OpsMgr db = 2 disk RAID 1
    OpsMgrDW = 2 disk RAID 1
    //Mats A

    Agree with John.
    It's same RAID recommendation for SSD Disks to get more high availability because in RAID 10, you will have high performance with redundant {for example, in RAID 10, you will not lose the data until if 2 HD Failed} and Performance of Read and Write is high.
    SSD give you high performance but it will good for 500 Agent and 100 APM but in large environment, it's recommended to work on same RAID Recommendation

  • Oracle Streams and Database Encryption

    I am looking for encryption method for OLTP database.
    Oracle Streams will be used to synchronize the data between source and remote database.
    Business process wants all remote database to be fully encrypted.
    What Can I use?
    - TDE is not supported with Oracle Streams,
    - I can’t use DBMS_CRYPTO since it needs big Database modifications.
    Any other Oracle supported techniques, or maybe I’m gonna need to consider hardware encryption (like hard disk encryption) or OS level encryption.
    Thanks,

    TDE is not supported with LogMiner based technologies such as Streams, Data Guard (logical standby). Therefore you can not use TDE to replicated encrypted content. --You will get exception "Unsupported data type"
    But, you might replicate decrypted data into encrypted destination. This means your destination might have TDE encrypted columns.
    Unofficially Oracle will support TDE with logminer based technologies in the next database version 11.
    I am waiting for this.

  • Backup Restore of SCOM Databases

    Hello All.............I have SCOM OpsMgr, OpsDWH and OpsACS Databases on Physical SQL Cluster on a separate instance, but we need to move the Instance along with Databases to a new Virtual SQL Cluster.  The approach I am looking at is Backup and Restore.
    1.  Is this a good approach? Workable?
    2.  What would be required at the Target Virtual SQL Cluster?
         -Same SQL Version?
         -Same Instance Name?
         -Same Service Accounts?
         -Same Drive Letters for Database Location?

  • SQLlite Database Encryption Question

    hello all, I'm developing Air Application using flex, I need to encrypt the database file. It is said that an encrytion key of exaclty 16 byte is needed...At the Start the user is given the option of either using an existing encryppted sql database or creating a new encrypted one. please how do i make sure a string is converted to a ByteArray with length of exaclty 16 byte....any form of explaination or sample code would help
    Thanks

    Sorry, the string that you pass to it must be conformed correctly.  If it isn't, it will throw this error message:
    ArgumentError: The password must be a strong password. It must be 8-32 characters long. It must contain at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter, and at least one number or symbol.
    Currently I am using the method below to generate a password.  I haven't had any issues with it not generating a password that isn't conformed correctly for the getEncryptionKey().  But you can easily edit it, for that it *will* contain "...at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter, and at least one number or symbol."
    public static function generateRandomPassword(strHash:String = 'acbdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@#$%^&*',lnHash:Number = 32):String
         var i:Number = 1;
         var hash:String = "";
         var nLenght:Number = strHash.length;
         while (i <= lnHash)
              var num:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*nLenght)+1;
              hash += strHash.charAt(num);
              i++;
         return hash;
    But also keep in mind, that this key will be stored in the ELS directory of the user's machine.  So it is protected by the OS by a certain degree.

  • Encrypting data in database

    Is there any tools in an Oracle database or by Oracle to encrypt data in the database in 8.05 database or earlier? In versions above 8.05 - 8i and above, is the PL/SQL Encryption Toolkit free with the database or is it an add on package.
    Thanks

    I've never heard of any tools that encrypt the data prior to v8.0.5. In these cases you might be better server encrypting and decrypting the data outside of the database.
    The DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT has been added in Oracle 8.1.6. This package provides you with DES encryption only. Does not perform any kind of key management. Read the white paper "Database Encryption in Oracle8i" from OTN. Provides a very good assessment of the use of encryption in databases.
