Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide
3.
The client passes these credentials to the Oracle server concurrent with a service
request, such as connection to a database.
4.
The server sends the credentials back to the authentication server for
authentication.
5.
If the authentication server accepts the credentials, then it notifies the Oracle
Server, and the user is authenticated.
6.
If the authentication server does not accept the credentials, then authentication
fails, and the service request is denied.
Supported Authentication Methods
Oracle Advanced Security supports the following industry-standard authentication
methods:
■
Kerberos
■
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
■
DCE (Distributed Computing Environment)
■
Secure Sockets Layer
(with digital certificates)
■
Entrust/PKI
Kerberos
Oracle Advanced Security support for Kerberos provides the benefits of
single sign-on and centralized authentication of Oracle users. Kerberos is a trusted
third-party authentication system that relies on shared secrets. It presumes that the
third party is secure, and provides single sign-on capabilities, centralized password
storage, database link authentication, and enhanced PC security. It does this
through a Kerberos authentication server. See
Chapter 6, "Configuring Kerberos
Authentication"
for information about configuring and using this adapter.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
RADIUS is a client/server security
protocol that is most widely known for enabling remote authentication and access.
Oracle Advanced Security uses this standard in a client/server network
environment to enable use of any authentication method that supports the RADIUS
Note:
Oracle authentication for Kerberos provides database link
authentication (also called proxy authentication). Kerberos is also
an authentication method that is supported with Enterprise User
Security.
