This guide provides an overview of the Oracle Enterprise Manager System Monitoring Plug-in for Oracle Key Manager and explains the general principles of application security.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager System Monitoring Plug-in for Oracle Key Manager extends Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to add support for monitoring Oracle Key Manager appliances. This plug-in provides the following primary features:
Gathers and presents configuration and performance information for Oracle Key Manager appliances
Raises alerts for pre-selected configuration and monitoring data
Ties together Oracle ZFS storage appliances and Oracle databases integrated with Oracle Key Manager appliances
Supports monitoring by remote agents in the Cloud Control environment
The Plug-in follows these security principles:
Connections to Oracle Key Manager appliances are through SSL.
The Plug-in authenticates itself with an Oracle Key Manager (OKM) cluster and then establishes a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) channel using Transfer Layer Sockets (TLS) v1.0 for further communication with the OKM cluster.
The Plug-in uses X.509 certificates to authenticate itself with the OKM cluster. These certificates are stored in PKCS#12 files, and thus are encrypted.
