I want to audit user connection on my reporting database, and send a report to application team on monthly basis, with a list of users who are not connected for a month and remove them.
What would be best method, i know there is LOGON trigger, or database level auditing.
i want to trace user activities, I want to generate the file with SQL statement generated by particular user. I tried to look in to sys.AUD$ but all i get is logging logout and locations but no SQL Text.

When I create a new Oracle DB connection, and test it, Steps 3 and 4 fail.What is strange is that I followed the following procedure in PM 1.9-825 and worked fine. I am wondering if something changed in the new PM 2.0.8 version (I noticed that php_oci8.dll was commented out in php.ini).
Oracle Version is 10GR2
PM installed on clean XP sp3
1. Got a new Windows XP SP3 PC
2. Installed PM 2.0.8
3. Edited php.ini and uncommented [PHP_OCI8] and extension=php_oci8.dll
4. Installed oracle instant client “instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.5” in c:oracle
5. Installed oracle instant client “instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.4” in c:oracle
6. Added c:oracle in PATH environment variable
7. Created ORACLE_HOME = c:oracle environment variable
8. Added TNS_ADMIN = c: environment variable
9. Copied working tnsnames.ora file into c:
10. Rebooted.

I'd like to know if it is possible to track DML actions issued on a specific table by a specific user, for example , i tried :
AUDIT SELECT on SCOTT.DEPT by HR by ACCESS;
I get an error, where is my syntax error ?
i want to know if it's possible to do it without trigger ?
I have enabled Auditing in my oracle Database but I am not able to see any database for the operations of sys user or any other user in my "SYS.AUD$" and "SYS.FGA_LOG$" tables.
Value for the parameter "AUDIT_TRAIL" is set to "db,extended".
I am working as "SYS" user and I have shutdown and again startup the database but neither there was any information in both the tables nor I can see any files at the destination specified by "AUDIT_FILE_DEST".
compare the database vault and audit vault. Is there any relation between them.
Moreover How could I connect two different databases(hosted on Host1 and Host2) Using a Third system having 10g vault installed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast week we have realized that a user who connects through SQL Developer(as nothing wrong found in application server logs) has made a serious change in the database which created a real mess. The user has done some mischief in some calculations by making some inserts and updates in some important tables in our production database.
How can I find which user or from which IP the change is made.
I have a doubt in locking user account in oracle database.I was told to drop some unusable users in database which my clients dont require them.I verified the dependent objects of those users but not sure if these users can be dropped.
Instead can i make those user accounts locked so that they cannot connect to database? Would there be any impact on database performance if i lock those user accounts?
Is locking an account and dropping users is similar in anyway?
I know how to use database links in various forms, but I've been trying to think through how the authentication works for a connected user link in 11g. If I create the link like this,create public database link using 'orcl';then any user can use the link, provided they have an identical username/password in the two databases. With pre-11g passwords, it was understandable: the password was salted with the username, so the hash of the password would be the same in both databases, and I assumed that the logon through the link used some sort of IDENTIFIED BY VALUES mechanism. But in 11g, the salt will different in the two databases. So the hash will be different. And of course Oracle never stores the actual password. So I don't see how the authentication works.

View 3 Replies View RelatedLet us say I want to audit data updates, deletes on existing table EMP_TAB that has a few hundred thousands of records.I created a shadow table Emp_tab_audit and added few audit columns
Emp_tab (

Job VARCHAR2(9),

I am mostly interested in UPDATES and DELETES but I decided to add INSERTS to have full history for each eomplyee in one table (audit schema) instead of querying two tables all the time (production table and audit table) to see the changes.
I created this AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE trigger.decided to copy the :NEW values for INSERT and UPDATE and :OLD values for DELETE. attached.
so when insert happens, the first audit row is created in EMP_TAB_AUDIT. update happens, the 2nd new row is created in EMP_TAB_AUDIT.
The problem I am facing is the old records that curently exist. If someone updates an old row I am copying the :NEW values so I won't have a copy of the :OLD values unless I create 2 ROWS (one for the old and one for the new).
Do you think I should copy all the hundreds of thousands of records to the AUDIT tables for this to work.

Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3.2 & Linux Red Hat 5 on a V.M. box
I'm new to the Audit Vault and am experiencing some issues. Right now my biggest question is how does A.V. deal with TNS issues (allowing the collectors to find remote target db's) when we do not add any tns entries to the local tnsnames file?
We've recently added more space and our sysadmins have moved all of our AV data to the new disk space and have supposedly updated pointers allowing us to continue seamlessly. However now my collectors won't start, they are complaining with message below. These had started previously before the space add.

In Oracle Database 11.2.0.2, to delete audit trails after the audit records have been inserted into Oracle Audit Vault, is it necessary to schedule Oracle Audit Vault jobs to clean up audit trails on a scheduled basis, or AV automatically cleans up audit trails after the audit records have been inserted into the Audit Vault? I know there is a DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT package, but in 11gR2, the deletion of audit trails isn't done automatically?
View 1 Replies View Related how to check that audit is enabled for any particular schema.
The below is my audit parameter from database level:-
SQL>SHOW PARAMETER AUDIT
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
audit_file_dest string /db17/dbdump/xxxx/adump
audit_sys_operations boolean TRUE
audit_syslog_level string
audit_trail string DB_EXTENDED
I am using 'Novell Sentinel Log Manager' to collect/fetch logs from my Oracle 11g R2.To enable auditing, first I did following:
login as sys, then
SQL> create user testuser identified by "testuser";
SQL> grant connect to testuser
SQL> grant dba to sharf
SQL> grant CREATE SESSION to testuser;
SQL> grant select on v_$session to testuser;
SQL> grant select on v_$version to testuser;
SQL> grant select on SYS.DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL to testuser;
SQL> grant select_catalog_role to testuser;
SQL> grant select any dictionary to testuser;
Now logon/logof of user 'testuser' are logged , as well as if testuser drops a table or creates a table, its also logged . but when 'testuser' insert a new record, this information does not logged ;( while I need to know exactly what was added SQL> insert into emp (empid, name, salary) values (10002, 'Ron', 6000)
likewise if 'testuser' modify/update an existing record it also does not logged.
SQL> update emp set salary=700 where empid=10001;
which sql statements I have to execute to start auditing 'insert' and 'update', so that I know what was added/inserted and exactly what was updated/ changed/modify by user 'testuser'.
where to find various logging levels (like 1-10) of audit trail in oracle...if so how to set that logging levels.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Audit Vault Server 12 (not install firewall) in a oracle linux vmware and activated an agent for Oracle 11g release 2 in windows 7 x64 vmware according to Oracle® Audit Vault and Database Firewall Installation Guide and Administrator’s Guide Release 12.1.0 as follows:
1) ALTER SYSTEM SET AUDIT_TRAIL=XML, EXTENDED SCOPE=SPFILE; Database restart
2) Register the Oracle Database Host Machine
3) Deploy Agent and Request Activation on the Host Machine
4) Create user accounts on the secured targets and set up Oracle AVDF user privileges on an Oracle Database secured target.
5) Register Secured Targets in the Audit Vault Server with user acount of stpe 4:jdbc:oracle:thin:@//IP:1521/orcl
6) Configure an Audit Trail in the Audit Vault Server : TABLE - sys.aud$ or DVSYS.audit_trail$, DIRECTORY - directory of audit trail xml saved.
I turned off firewall just in case.Administrator web page of AVDF showed only messages of "request completed" after configuring an audit trail in the Audit Vault Server.But, collection state was a red downward arrow, and even auditor web page showed same state.I couldn't show audit trails in the auditor web page.
I have to find all the 'failed log ins' through audit report. then it has to be uploaded to a table. The script, either in windows or unix should be reusable and can read files one by one.

As of now, the access rights are same for all the windows users logging into the Oracle application with the same Oracle user Id.
But now, we want to improve our security by granting different levels of rights to the users based on their Network Id even though they use the same Oracle User Id to log into the application.
We are not looking for the users to be identified externally.
