This chapter identifies postinstallation configuration tasks. Where appropriate, this chapter references other guides for procedures on performing these configuration tasks.
This chapter contains these topics:
Oracle Corporation recommends that you configure Oracle database files, directories, and registry settings to allow only authorized database administrators (DBAs) to have full control. If you created a database using Database Configuration Assistant or upgraded a database using Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant, then no further action is required.
This section describes the permissions automatically set by Oracle Universal Installer, Database Configuration Assistant, and Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant and the steps to set these permissions manually.
This section contains these topics:
Setting Windows Registry Security

Beginning with this release, Oracle Universal Installer, Database Configuration Assistant, and Database Upgrade Assistant set file permissions when Oracle software is installed or upgraded.
This section contains this topic:
During Oracle9i installation, by default Oracle Universal Installer installs software in \ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME.
Oracle Universal Installer sets the following permissions to this directory, and all files and directories under this directory:
Administrators - Full Control
System - Full Control
Authenticated Users - Read, Execute and List Contents
|
Important: If these accounts already exist and possess more restrictive permissions, then the most restrictive permissions are retained. If accounts other thanAdministrators, System, and Authenticated Users already exist, then the permissions for these accounts are removed. |
To ensure that only authorized users have full file system permissions:
Go to Windows Explorer.
Set the following permissions for \ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME:
Administrators - Full Control
System - Full Control
Authenticated Users - Read, Execute and List Contents
|
Note: The Oracle9i database uses the Windows LocalSystem built-in security account. Therefore, file permissions must be granted to theSystem account of the local computer running the Oracle9i database. |

Oracle Corporation recommends that you remove write permissions from users who are not Oracle9i DBAs or system administrators in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE of the Windows registry.
To remove write permissions:
Open the registry.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
Select Permissions from the Security main menu.
The Registry Key Permissions dialog box appears.
Remove write permissions from any users who are not Oracle9i DBAs or system administrators. Note that the SYSTEM account must have Full Control, since this is the account with which the Oracle9i database runs.
Ensure that user accounts that must run Oracle applications have read privileges.
Choose OK.
An Oracle database installation always installs the base release, for example, Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1.1.0). Oracle Corporation recommends installing the latest patch set release after successful installation of the base release.
