Oracle Management Database Considerations › Security Considerations

Security Considerations

To ensure that your MDB is secure

• Change the passwords for all MDB administrative-level accounts routinely.
• Keep the MDB in a secure location. Make sure the database is in a directory owned by a secure user who has read-only permissions. Any users who have access to a saved database may potentially restore it on another system and view the data contained.

Archive Logging

Upon installation of the MDB, archive logging is enabled allowing you to:

• Perform online backups so you will have complete and point-in-time media data recovery options.
• Perform archive audit log analysis.

Note: You may utilize the Unicenter Database Analyzer for Oracle to comprehensively audit, recover, and analyze the Oracle log.

Undo and Database Backup

Changes made by transactions to the database are stored using undo data. When you install the database, undo tablespace and UNDO_MANAGEMENT = AUTO should be set. This enables undo functionality should the need arise in a recovery situation.
