Enabling Current User Database Links
Enterprise User Security Configuration Tasks and Troubleshooting 12-25
To view the database DN so you can request a certificate with the appropriate DN
use one of the following options:
■ Use Oracle Directory Manager to look in the directory under the realm Oracle
Context for cn=<short_database_name>,cn=OracleContext,<realm_
DN> where short_database_name is the first part of the fully qualified
domain name for a database. For example, if you have a database named
db1.us.oracle.com, then the short database name is db1.
■ Use the following mkstore utility syntax on the command line:
mkstore -wrl <wallet_location> -viewEntry ORACLE.SECURITY.DN
where wallet_location is the path to the database wallet.
Enabling Current User Database Links
Current user database links require SSL-enabled network connections between the
databases. Before you can enable current user database links, you must enable SSL,
create Oracle wallets, and obtain PKI credentials for all databases involved.
Then use Enterprise Security Manager to enable current user database links
between databases within the enterprise domain in the directory by using the
following steps:
1. Select the enterprise domain in the navigator pane.
2. Choose the Databases tabbed window and check Enable Current User
Database Links.
3. Click Apply.
