Chapter 4 General Oracle Security

Enter user-name: scott/tiger|
ERROR:
ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied

Note the error: “ORA-12546 : TNS:permission denied,” meaning the execute on the Oracle executable failed. However, the connection is attempted now using a connect string, i.e. forcing it to go through the regular IPC or TCP/IP process.

Enter user-name: scott/tiger@claimdb

Connected to:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
SQL>
The connection was successful.

Remove the execute permissions on Oracle executables from others as a precaution to prevent malicious use.

Filesystem Permissions

Oracle uses several filesystems to place a variety of files. We will assume here that the Oracle software owner is oracle and the primary group is oinstall, with other memberships in the group dba.

The directory where the Oracle software files are stored is called Oracle Home, identified as an environmental variable in UNIX labeled ORACLE_HOME.
