Managing Oracle credentials
When installing SunSystems, at least two schemas are required: one for the domain and one or more for each business unit group created. Each of these schemas is owned by a specific Oracle user account which is defined during installation, the credentials for which are stored in the domain database in encrypted form. During the connection process these credentials are retrieved by applications and decrypted locally, thereby allowing access to the schema with full access rights under the control of the application.
Users may need to periodically change the password used by the schema, and SunSystems Security provides an interface to allow the administrator to amend the credentials used for each of these schema accounts. This ensures that when the credentials change, those stored in the Security Store correspond to those defined against the Oracle Database.
