5
Agenda Business Drivers for Security Identity and Security – related? Key Benefits of Identity Management Strategies for deployed applications Oracle Database 10 g Questions
6
Business Drivers for Security Why security?
7
Business Environment … Increased threat to business continuity – Internal threats – External threats Government Regulations (US and Foreign) – Security Policy – Security Products Manageability and High Availability with Security
8
Measuring ROI in Security Opportunity Cost – What does lost business, delayed payments and customer retention mean to your business? Lower Administrative Costs – Patch Management – User Provisioning – Eliminate Password Management woes
9
Security & Identity Management Where do they meet?
10
Critical aspects of Security Privacy – Consumers vs. Businesses – Staying anonymous is expensive Authentication – Critical to establish trust Integrity – Non repudiation Audit
11
Identity and Security Identity – Username, Certificate DN, Global UID Authenticate – Password (what you know) – Stronger alternatives (smart card, Certificate, TGT) Trust – Secure the channel – Evaluate Access Control – Assist in non repudiation
12
Identity Management in Oracle 10 g Oracle Internet Directory Directory Synchronization Provisioning Integration Delegated Administration AS 10 g Single Sign-On Oracle Certificate Authority LDAP standard repository for identity information Integration with other directories (e.g. ADS, iPlanet) Automatic provisioning of users in the Oracle environment Self service administration tools for managing identity information across the enterprise Single sign-on to web applications Issue and manage X.509v3 compliant certificates to secure email and network connections

Benefits of Identity Management Valuable with over capacity in technology
15
Where is the pain? User Administration – Scalability too many accounts for additions, deletions, role changes across 100s of databases Solution: Directory Integration for Centralized User/Privilege Management Ease of Use and Flexibility – too many passwords to remember/administer Solution : Single Sign-On with digital certificates, and Single Password
16
Oracle Identity Management… Improve ROI on administration – One network identity for a user – Eliminates maintaining users across databases Enable self service for user management – Lost Passwords retrieved by end users Security with Usability – SSL and Kerberos with ease of administration
17
OID Oracle Databases Apps may rely on -Database Roles alone -Enterprise Roles in the directory -Single Sign On Users and Enterprise users are unified in OID Applications can enforce VPD policies And Label security Audit records, for directory users Jane Surgeon Apps_User Nurse Users, Label Security policies, User Privileges managed in OID Apps_User Database Security for Directory Users
18
Ongoing User Administration Define a group In OID List Group Access Add User to Group
19
Directory Users for Legacy Apps Strategies to get more for less
20
Where to begin? Understand application user model Understand access control model Understand security policies Decide on new user model Strategy – Centralize users first – Centralize roles second
21
Application User Model - 1 Every application user is a database user Application uses database’s authentication and authorization capability Every user has an “exclusive” schema Where are the application objects?
22
Best Practice - 1 Usually, App objects are in an app schema – Move the database users to the directory – Map the user to a shared schema Consider using Enterprise Roles – If app relies entirely on database roles
23
Application User Model - 2 Application user is a database user but, – Some objects are shared and others are owned by each user Application relies on database roles for access control enforcement
24
Best Practice - 2 Move the database users to the directory – Each user has an exclusive schema Consider using Virtual Private Database – Eliminate exclusive schemas; use shared schema
25
User Management for Model for 1 & 2 Jane OID Client Server App, Jane logs into the database -One Database Connection established Apps may rely on -Database Roles -Enterprise Roles Database users are transformed into Enterprise users (i)mapped to shared schema, or (ii)Have exclusive schema Database looks up user credentials and gets all enterprise roles assigned Oracle DB APP_SCHEMA Guest_Schema
26
Application User Model - 3 Every application user is a database user Application has its access control module – Application may use a pre-seeded “App User” – Home grown audit module – Direct access to database objects restricted by PUP* * Product user profile
27
Best Practice - 3 Cost effective to map users to shared schema Consider replacing home grown admin module using enterprise roles/database global roles
28
User Management - 3 OID Oracle DB APP_SCHEMA Database users are transformed into Enterprise users, mapped to shared schema (APP_SCHEMA). Apps_User proxies directory users. Jane Apps_User Jill Apps_User
29
Application User Model - 4 Application has robust user management module Application uses application context to track users How can these users leverage an Enterprise Directory?
30
Best Practice - 4 Integrate with AS Single Sign-On – Provisioning of users handled automatically by HR – Password management policies of Oracle Internet Directory enforced – Eases integration with other applications in the enterprise Second stage – delegate access control to DB/OID
31
Oracle 10 g
32
Kerberized Enterprise Users Directory users – Use Kerberos credentials to authenticate to the Oracle Database Benefits – End-to-end security with desktop sign-on – Virtually no administrative cost – Centralized administration in heterogeneous environment
33
Integrated Enterprise User Security Identity Management infrastructure – Unified user model (one password) Simplified configuration – Provide alternate secure channel for Database Directory communication Benefits – Easy, low cost administration of users – Identity flows end-to-end aiding accountability – Database security for web application users – Rapid prototype
34
Security and Identity Management for GRID Central provisioning of users for database services Apply database security features for GRID users Central administration of security policies for GRID users
35
Security with Usability … a scenario Oracle Internet Directory New employee Provisioned in AD Microsoft ADS Patient Care Patient Profile Surgeon KDC MIT v5 / MSKDC Unix Windows Krb TGT AD Connector
36
Oracle Label Security, OID Integration Centrally administer – Oracle Label Security policies – sensitivity labels – user label authorizations Benefit – Label authorizations enforced for directory users – Enforce uniform policies centrally Aids GRID computing – Eases administration
37
Summary Increase Returns on Investment Lower administrative costs Simplify user experience – Password resets, single password Strong authentication alternatives – SSL, Kerberos Assist Audit Compliance Integrate with Database Security – Oracle Label Security, Virtual Private Database
