Enterprise Security Manager and Enterprise Security Manager Console
Oracle Advanced Security employs Enterprise Security Manager and Enterprise
Security Manager Console to administer enterprise users, administrative groups,
enterprise domains, and enterprise roles that are stored in Oracle Internet
Directory. (Enterprise Security Manager Console can be accessed through the
Enterprise Security Manager Operations menu. See "Enterprise Security Manager
Console Overview" on page 2-22 for details.)
Enterprise users are users who are provisioned and managed centrally in an
LDAP-compliant directory, such as Oracle Internet Directory, for database access.
Enterprise domains are directory constructs that contain databases and enterprise
roles, the access privileges that are assigned to enterprise users.
