 Measures Under Microsoft Windows 

The following sections describe the measures that you need to take for the database system under Microsoft Windows operating systems:

Security Measures for the Operating System User <SID>ADM

To protect the operating system user <SID>ADM, change his/her password.

Access Privileges for Database-Related Resources

If you are using a Microsoft Windows operating system, the volumes of the database instance are automatically protected. Only the administrator group has full access privileges for the volumes, and all other users have no access.

However, you must protect the database directory <independent_data_path>\config, which contains the configuration files for the database instance. Set the following access privileges for the directory <independent_data_path>\config and all the files it contains:

·        Full Control access privileges for the local group Administrators

·        No access privileges for other groups or users

If you want to exclude all other users from access to the database instance using database tools, set the following privileges for the directory <independent_data_path> and all its subdirectories.

·        Full Control access privileges for the local group Administrators

·        No access privileges for other groups or users
