This chapter contains:
The procedures and functions within the DBMS_MACADM
package allow you to write applications that configure the realms, factors, rule sets, command rules, secure application roles, and Oracle Label Security policies normally configured in Oracle Database Vault Administrator.
The DBMS_MACADM
package is available only for users who have the DV_ADMIN
or DV_OWNER
role.
Many of the parameters used in the procedures and functions in the DBMS_MACADM
package can use the constants available in the DBMS_MACUTL
package. See "DBMS_MACUTL Constants" for more information.
Oracle Database Vault also provides a set of PL/SQL interfaces that you can use with the DBMS_MACADM
package. See Chapter 15, "Using the Oracle Database Vault PL/SQL Interfaces," for more information.
Table 12-1 lists procedures within the DBMS_MACADM
package that you can use to configure realms. For constants that you can use with these procedures, see Table 14-1 for more information.
Chapter 4, "Configuring Realms" describes realms in detail. See also Chapter 14, "Using the DBMS_MACUTL Package" for a set of general purpose utility procedures that you can use with the realm procedures.
Table 12-1 DBMS_MACADM Realm Configuration Procedures
The ADD_AUTH_TO_REALM
procedure authorizes a user or role to access a realm as an owner or a participant. The person running this procedure cannot add himself or herself to the realm as a realm participant. For detailed information about realm authorization, see "Defining Realm Authorization".
Optionally, you can specify a rule set that must be checked before allowing the authorization to proceed, a rule set.
DBMS_MACADM.ADD_AUTH_TO_REALM( realm_name IN VARCHAR2, grantee IN VARCHAR2, rule_set_name IN VARCHAR2, auth_options IN NUMBER);
Table 12-2 ADD_AUTH_TO_REALM Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
Realm name. To find the existing realms in the current database instance, query the |
|
User or role name to authorize as an owner or a participant. You cannot select yourself (that is, the user logging in) or anyone who has been granted the To find the existing users and roles in the current database instance, query the To find the authorization of a particular user or role, query the To find existing secure application roles used in privilege management, query the |

|
Optional. Specify one of the following options to authorize the realm:
See "Defining Realm Authorization" for more information on participants and owners. |
The following example authorizes user SYSADM
as a participant in the Performance Statistics Realm. Because the default is to authorize the user as a participant, the auth_options
parameter can be omitted.
BEGIN DBMS_MACADM.ADD_AUTH_TO_REALM( realm_name => 'Performance Statistics Realm', grantee => 'SYSADM'); END; /

as the owner of the Performance Statistics Realm.
BEGIN DBMS_MACADM.ADD_AUTH_TO_REALM( realm_name => 'Performance Statistics Realm', grantee => 'SYSADM', auth_options => DBMS_MACUTL.G_REALM_AUTH_OWNER); END; /
The next example triggers the Check Conf Access rule set before allowing user SYSADM
to be made the owner of the Performance Statistics Realm.
BEGIN DBMS_MACADM.ADD_AUTH_TO_REALM( realm_name => 'Performance Statistics Realm', grantee => 'SYSADM', rule_set_name => 'Check Conf Access', auth_options => DBMS_MACUTL.G_REALM_AUTH_OWNER); END; /
