Exporting and Importing Database Firewall Policies

Learn how to export and import one or more Database Firewall policies.

User-defined Database Firewall Policies in one Audit Vault Server instance can be exported and later imported to another Audit Vault Server instance. This saves time in creating the same policies across multiple Audit Vault Server instances.

For example, the User-defined Database Firewall Policies can be exported and imported between:

1. Test to production Audit Vault Server instance.

2. Primary Audit Vault Server instance to DR (Disaster Recovery) Audit Vault Server instance.

When exported the Database Firewall policy can be downloaded and stored in a proprietary encrypted JSON file format. This file contains all the data and can be used to import later. This file is protected with a password defined by the user. The same password has to be entered to view the policy details and also during the import process.

Note: This functionality is not applicable to Pre-defined Database Firewall Policies as they are available on all the Audit Vault Server instances and can easily be selected.

Prerequisites

• To export or import Database Firewall policies, the user must have auditor privileges assigned.

• A User-defined Database Firewall Policy must be first published in order to be exported.
