Database Authentication for Oracle GoldenGate

Learn about database authentication configurations required when setting up the database to work with Oracle GoldenGate.

Database Authentication

Database connections are managed with the USERIDALIAS parameter in Oracle GoldenGate. You cannot directly connect to the database from Oracle GoldenGate. The DBLOGIN USERIDALIAS, FETCHUSERIDALIAS, and MINNINGDBUSERIDALIAS contains username and password for any supported database, which is stored in Oracle GoldenGate credentialstore.

Kerberos Authentication

Oracle GoldenGate supports operating system level login for Oracle database. The support of Kerberos authentication is enabled on top of the existing OS level, as an external authentication feature.

For implementation details regarding Kerberos Authentication, see Configure Kerberos Authentication.
