Issues and Restrictions that Apply to Entrust-Enabled SSL
F-12 Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide
Creating Entrust-Enabled Database Users
Create global users in the database based on the
distinguished name (DN)
of each
Entrust user.
For example:
SQL> create user jdoe identified globally as 'cn=jdoe,o=oracle,c=us';
where
"cn=jdoe, o=oracle, c=us"
is the Entrust distinguished name of the
user.
Logging Into the Database Using Entrust-Enabled SSL
1.
Use SQL*Plus to connect to the Oracle instance as follows:
sqlplus /@net_service_name
where
net_service_name
is the service name of the Oracle instance.
The Entrust_Login dialog box appears.
2.
Enter the path to the profile and the password.
3.
If you did not specify a value for the
WALLET_LOCATION
parameter, you are
prompted to enter the path to the Entrust initialization file.
Issues and Restrictions that Apply to Entrust-Enabled SSL
An application must be specifically modified to work with Entrust. If a product is
designated as Entrust-ready, then it has been integrated with Entrust by using an
Entrust toolkit.
For example, Oracle has modified its SSL libraries to access an Entrust profile
instead of an Oracle wallet.
Note:
For all Windows environments, Oracle Corporation
recommends that you do not install Entrust Entelligence Desktop
Manager on the server computer.
Note: Oracle Corporation recommends that the initialization file
be specified in the
WALLET_LOCATION
parameter file.
