Logging In to Oracle DBSecCentral Appliances Through SSH

When installing or administering Oracle Database Security Central (Oracle DBSecCentral), you sometimes need to log in to the Audit Vault Server or Database Firewall appliance through SSH.

  1. Log in to the appliance through SSH as the support user.

    The support user is set up during the post-installation process. See Post-Install Configuration Tasks.

    Note: If you’re using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) marketplace image, connect through SSH as the OPC user.

    ssh support@<appliance_ip_address>

  2. Switch to the root user.

    su - root

    Note: If you’re using the OCI marketplace image, use the sudo su - command.

    Caution: Logging in as root during install or upgrade uses tmux, a terminal multiplexer, to display persistent information. A user with access to these screens can create new root shells. If you plan to leave the session unattended, Oracle recommends disconnecting from the blue screen by using the CTRL-b d command. To reconnect, log in as root once more.
