This chapter identifies postinstallation configuration tasks. Where appropriate, this chapter references other guides for procedures on performing these configuration tasks.
Specific topics discussed are:
Oracle Corporation recommends that you configure Oracle8i database files, directories, and registry settings to allow only authorized database administrators (DBAs) to have full control. These topics describe how to perform these tasks:
The Oracle8i database uses files to store database data, backup data, log information, and so on. To do this, the Oracle8i database process runs under a security account. This security account (the Windows NT LocalSystem account called SYSTEM) includes the ability to create and access these files. The security account is assigned to the service that the Oracle8i database uses (in the Control Panel). This account requires full file system permissions to create, read, write, delete, and execute files.
To ensure that only authorized users have full file system permissions:
Oracle Corporation recommends that you remove write permissions from users who are not Oracle8i DBAs or system administrators. You perform this operation in the Windows NT registry, in the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
To remove write permissions:
The Registry Key Permissions dialog box appears.
