Security is one of the key challenges for on-premises and cloud based databases today. But the appropriate security and hardening measures usually only make sense if authentication and authorisation have already been implemented with appropriate care. Instead of decentralised administration, where users, rights and roles are managed in each database, it is clearer and more secure to manage them centrally. The latest version of Oracle offers different possibilities to implement this requirement. With focus on the current versions of Oracle Database 18c / 19c the following topics are discussed among other things:

• Password Verifier and strong authentication such as Kerberos and SSL
• Variants for central user administration of Oracle databases
• Differentiation between Oracle EUS and CMU
• Integration of Oracle 18c/19c databases with Active Directory Services

Sample setup of an Oracle database with Active Directory integration via Centrally Managed User CMU.

In the context of this workshop the basics as well as extended know-how in the area of Centrally Managed Users and central user administration of Oracle databases in general will be worked out.
