- Managing Audit Policies

- Managing the Audit Data Store

- Advanced Administration of the Database Store

5.3 Manage Application Policies with Fusion Middleware Control

An application policy is a functional policy that specifies a set of permissions that a principal is allowed to perform within the application, such as viewing web pages or modifying reports.

An application policy uses:

- Principals as grantees, and must have at least one principal.

- Either one or more permissions, or an entitlement, but not both.

Policies that use an entitlement are called entitlement-based policies; policies that use one or more permissions are called resource-based policies.

You can perform the following tasks in this page:

- Create an application policy

- Create an application policy based on an existing one

- Edit an application policy

- Display application policies matching a pattern

For details about managing application policies, see Managing Application Policies in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

5.4 Manage Application Roles with Fusion Middleware Control

An application role is a collection of users, groups, and other application roles; it can be hierarchical. Application roles are defined by application policies and not necessarily known to a Java EE container. Application roles can be many-to-many mapped to external roles. For example, the external group employee (stored in the identity store) can be mapped to the application role helpdesk service request (in one stripe) and to the application role self service HR (in another stripe).

You can perform the following tasks in this page:

- Create an application role

- Create an application role based on an existing role

- Edit an application role

- Display application roles matching a pattern

For details about managing application roles, see Managing Application Roles in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

5.5 Manage System Policies with Fusion Middleware Control

A system policy is a policy that specifies a set of permissions that a principal or a code source is allowed to perform, and it holds for an entire domain. System policies grant privileges to code sources and principals, while application policies can grant privileges to principals only.

You can perform the following tasks in this page:

- Create a system policy

- Create a system policy based on an existing one

- Edit a system policy

- Display system policies matching a pattern

For details about managing system policies, see Managing System Policies inSecuring Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

5.6 Manage Credentials with Fusion Middleware Control

OPSS supports the following types of credentials according to the data they contain:

- A password credential encapsulates a user name and a password.

- A generic credential encapsulates any customized data or arbitrary token, such as a symmetric key.

A credential is uniquely identified by a map name and a key name. A map can hold several keys and, typically, the map name corresponds with the name of an application; all credentials with the same map name define a logical group of credentials, such as the credentials used by the application. The pair of map and key names must be unique for all entries in a credential store.

There is no limit to the number or kind of characters you can set in a password, except that it must be non-empty and non-null. The maximum size of a generic credential in an LDAP security store is 4K.

Oracle Wallet is the default file-based credential store, and it can store X.509 certificates; production environments typically use either an Oracle Internet Directory LDAP-based or a DB-based credential store.

You can perform the following tasks in this page:

- Create a credential map

- Add a key to a credential map

- Edit a key

- Display credentials matching a pattern

For details about managing credentials, see Managing Credentials in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

5.7 Manage Keystores with the Keystore Service

The OPSS Keystore Service allows managing keys and certificates for SSL, message security, encryption, and similar tasks. Use this service to create and maintain keystores that contain keys, certificates, and other artifacts.

Typical tasks on a keystore are as follows:

- Create a keystore in the context of an application stripe, directly or by importing a keystore file from the file system.

- Update or delete keystores; a password-protected keystore updating requires that the keystore password be entered.

- Change a keystore password.
