3.6.2 Enabling the Security Policies for Operating System Users

The /opt/oracle.cellos/RESECURED_NODE file enables the security policies.

If the file does not exist, then you can reset the security policies for all operating system users by performing the following steps:

  1. Shut down the Oracle Grid Infrastructure services on all database servers.
  2. Shut down the cell services on the storage servers.
    cellcli -e alter cell shutdown services all
    
  3. Use the harden_passwords_reset_root_ssh script to reset the security policies.

    Note:

    The harden_passwords_reset_root_ssh script restarts the cell.
    /opt/oracle.SupportTools/harden_passwords_reset_root_ssh
    
  4. All operating system users must set a new password the next time they log in.
