Oracle scanners

The security-related configurations for the Snow Inventory Oracle Scanners are listed below.

Snow Inventory Oracle Scanner​

Snow Inventory Oracle Scanner can be configured via both the Agent configuration file, snowagent.config, and the Snow Inventory Oracle Scanner configuration file, sios.config.

The following security aspects can be configured:

  • Default instance credentials

    To specify the default credentials used in the scans, use the Oracle element of snowagent.config. For more information, see Oracle.

    EXAMPLE
    <Oracle>
        <DefaultInstanceCredentials>
            <UserName>username</UserName>
            <Password>encryptedpassword</Password>
        </DefaultInstanceCredentials>
    </Oracle>

  • Default instance credentials in mixed environments

    To use the default instance credentials in mixed environments with both container and non-container databases, you must additionally configure the <UseMixedCredentials> element in sios.config. For more information, see Enable default instance credentials in mixed environments.

  • Navigate to correct temporary working directory

    To be able to run the scanner in combination with a security policy that changes the CWD (Current Working Directory) on OS user logon, the <FileSystemSecurityModule> element in snowagent.config can be used. For more information, see Configure the scanner to work with forced change of CWD on OS user logon.
