Database User Account Security

For users who need access to the Oracle LSH database through an external system or remote database, you must create an Oracle LSH database account. Oracle LSH allows you to create an Oracle LSH database account to only allow the users you select to access the database.

The Oracle LSH user database accounts have a session timeout with a default setting of 24 hours. A public API is provided to permit an administrator to modify the timeout value, but the maximum value permitted is 24 hours. This setting applies to all database accounts in the Oracle LSH instance. You cannot set a different timeout for each account. If the database accounts are not used to connect Oracle DMW to another application, but are used by individuals to occasionally connect to the database to query data, then a shorter timeout provides greater security for your environment
