This chapter describes how to use Oracle Enterprise Manager to administer Enterprise User Security in Oracle Databases. This chapter contains the following topics:
An identity management realm is a subtree of directory entries, all of which are governed by the same administrative policies. A realm Oracle Context is a subtree in a directory identity management realm that contains the data used by any installed Oracle product that uses the directory.
You can set properties of an identity management realm using Oracle Internet Directory tools like the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control or Grid Control Web interface enables you to manage Enterprise User Security related entries in an identity management realm.
This section describes administering identity management realms for Enterprise User Security. It contains the following topics:
Setting the Default Database-to-Directory Authentication Type for an Identity Management Realm
Managing Identity Management Realm Administrators
Note:
Do not create users within a realm Oracle Context.See Also:
"How Oracle Internet Directory Implements Identity Management" for a discussion about identity management realms and realm Oracle Contexts and how they are related to one another
"About Enterprise User Security Directory Entries" for a discussion on the Oracle Internet Directory entries that are used for Enterprise User Security
Enterprise User Security can only use an identity management realm supplied by Oracle Internet Directory 10g (9.0.4) or later, which ships with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4). You can manage Enterprise User Security directory entries in a version 9.0.4 (or later) identity management realm by using Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1).
Note:
Enterprise User Security did not require identity management realms in Oracle8i, nor in Oracle9i. In those previous releases, only an Oracle Context was used. For Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Enterprise User Security, full identity management realms and their associated realm Oracle Contexts must be used.An identity management realm has a number of properties that can be viewed and managed by using Oracle Internet Directory tools like the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console. These properties are described in Table 5-1.
Table 5-1 Identity Management Realm Properties

This property is no longer used. However, you should ensure that it is not set to |
Note:
Each identity management realm includes an
orcladmin user who is the root user of that realm only. These realm-specific orcladmin users are represented by the directory entries cn=orcladmin,cn=Users,realm_DN. Note that when you are logged in to Enterprise User Security administration tools as a realm-specific orcladmin user, then you can manage only directory objects for that realm. To manage objects in another realm, you must log in to administration tools as the orcladmin user for that realm.Setting these identity management realm attributes enables the database to locate Enterprise User Security entries.
To set Login Name, Kerberos Principal Name, User Search Base, and Group Search Base identity management realm attributes:
Log in to the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console.
Enter the URL to access the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console in a browser window. For example:
http://myhost1:7777/oiddas
Log in as the orcladmin user.
Click the Configuration tab. Click the Identity Management Realm subtab.
The Directory Configuration page appears.
Enter the appropriate information into the available fields.
Click Submit to save your changes to the directory.

Enterprise Domains are groups of databases that can share enterprise roles, proxy permissions, user-schema mappings, current user database links, and permitted authentication mechanisms. A database can belong to only one enterprise domain.
An enterprise domain can be thought of as an administrative domain, administered by the Domain Admins group for that domain. These administrators can add databases to the enterprise domain.
An identity management realm contains an enterprise domain called OracleDefaultDomain. OracleDefaultDomain is part of the realm when it is first created in the directory. When a new database is registered into a realm, it automatically becomes a member of OracleDefaultDomain in that realm. You can create and remove your own enterprise domains, but you must not remove OracleDefaultDomain from a realm.
This section describes how to use Oracle Enterprise Manager to administer enterprise domains in the directory. It contains the following topics:
An enterprise domain is an administrative domain of databases that can share enterprise roles, proxy permissions, user-schema mappings, current user database links, and permitted authentication mechanisms.
