Editing a Database Firewall Policy

Learn how to edit a Database Firewall policy.

You can edit Database Firewall policies that you have created or copied, and those policies that are not deployed. After a Database Firewall policy is deployed on the target, it cannot be edited. However, you can copy the policy, redefine with a new name, publish it, and then assign the same to the targets.

1. Log in to the Oracle Database Security Central console as an auditor.

2. Select Policies.

3. Select Database Firewall Policies tab in the left navigation menu.

4. Select the name of the specific policy. The details of the policy are displayed in the main page.

5. Edit the policy as required.

6. The rules are categorized under Session Context, SQL Statement, Database Objects, and Default. You can make changes to these rules.

7. You can add, edit, or delete a rule. The Default rule can only be edited.

8. You can also change the evaluation order of the rules (except for Default). Follow these steps:

   1. Select Evaluation Order. A dialog appears.

   2. Change the order of the rules using the up or down arrows on the right.

   3. Select Save. A confirmation message is displayed on the screen. The updated order of the rules is refreshed on the main page.

9. After making all the changes to the Database Firewall policy, select Save in the policy overview page.
