Administering Enterprise Domains
13-20 Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide
Managing Enterprise Domain Administrators
An Enterprise Domain Administrator is a directory user with privileges to modify
the content of that domain. You can use the Administrators tabbed window to
manage Enterprise Domain Administrators when an enterprise domain is selected
under an realm in the main application tree.
To add a new user to the list of Enterprise Domain Administrators:
1.
In the left navigator pane, select the enterprise domain to which you wish to
add administrators.
2.
In the right pane, select the Administrators tab.
3.
Choose Add.... The Add Users window appears. Use this window to locate and
select users for designation as Enterprise Domain Administrators. The new
users appear in the Administrators tabbed window.
4.
Choose Apply. The new Administrators are added to the enterprise domain.
To remove a user from the list of Enterprise Domain Administrators:
1.
In the left navigator pane, select the enterprise domain from which you wish to
remove administrators.
2.
In the right pane, select the Administrators tab.
3.
Select a user from the list of Administrators.
4.
Choose Remove. The selected user is removed from the list.
5.
Choose Apply. The user is removed as an Enterprise Domain Administrator for
that domain in the realm.
Managing Enterprise Domain Database Schema Mappings
Database schema mapping s , also referred to as user schema mappings) let
databases that are registered in the directory accept connections from users without
requiring any dedicated database
schema s for them. For example, when local user
Scott connects to a database, a database schema called Scott must exist—for that
logon to be successful. This can be difficult to maintain if there are thousands of
users and perhaps hundreds of databases in a very large enterprise.
Users that are defined in an LDAP-compliant directory do not require dedicated
schemas on every Oracle9i or later database to which they might connect.
