Oracle DBSecCentralAdministrator Tasks

As an Oracle Database Security Central administrator, your tasks include:

Configuring the system settings on Audit Vault Server.
Configuring connections to host computers on which you deployed Audit Vault Agent. This is usually the same computer as your targets.
Creating targets on Audit Vault Server for each database or operating system that you are monitoring.
Deploying and activating Audit Vault Agent on target host computers.
Configuring audit trails for targets that Audit Vault Agent monitors.
Configuring Database Firewall on your network.
Creating Database Firewall monitoring points for targets.
Backing up and archiving audit and configuration data.
Creating administrative users and managing access (super administrator only).
Configuring Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP.
Creating high availability for Audit Vault Server.

There are two Oracle DBSecCentral administrator roles with different target access levels:

Super Administrator - This role can create other administrators or super administrators, has access to all targets, and grants access to specific targets and groups to an administrator.
Administrator - Administrators can only see data for targets to which they have been granted access by a super administrator.
