3 Overview of security features

The Oracle Empirica Signal software provides the following security features to help you secure your system:

• Oracle Empirica Topics security
  You must support Web Services Security. Define a Web Services Security User Name Token Policy and include the user name and password with each SOAP message.
• Authentication methods
  The Oracle Empirica Signal software requires users to authenticate by logging in with a unique user name and password.
• Auditing
  The User Activity Audit Trail tracks user activity that occurs in the application, capturing detailed information for user actions and providing you with an easily accessible, historical account of user activity.
• Oracle Database client identifier
  For each connection to the Oracle Database, Oracle Empirica Signal sets the CLIENT_IDENTIFIER attribute to the ID value for the currently connected user.
• User access control
  The Oracle Empirica Signal software allows you to implement user access control. Using roles and permissions, you can restrict user access to only the activities that are necessary for users to perform their job responsibilities.
• User session timeout
  The Oracle Empirica Signal application cancels user sessions that have been inactive for a specified period of time.
