12.4 Adding Oracle Endpoints in Secure Configuration Manager

Complete the following steps to add Oracle endpoints you want to audit with a Windows agent.

To add Oracle endpoints to an existing agent in Secure Configuration Manager:

  1. Log in to the Windows console for Secure Configuration Manager.

  2. Expand IT Assets > Agents > OS > Windows.

  3. In the content pane, right-click the Windows agent to which you want to add the endpoint, and then click Add Endpoint.

  4. Click Next.

  5. (Optional) To find an existing system on which to add an endpoint, click Existing Systems. Select a system and click OK.

  6. In the Name field, type the name of the target endpoint.

    NOTE:Secure Configuration Manager does not allow an endpoint to be monitored by more than one agent, so you must enter an endpoint name that does not already exist on the computer. For more information, see Planning Oracle Endpoint Deployment.

  7. For Endpoint Type, select Oracle.

  8. In the endpoint properties table, verify or type the following required information.

    Field

    Description

    Host Name

    Name of the computer where the Oracle endpoint resides.

    Oracle Instance ID

    Alphanumeric ID of the Oracle instance.

    User Name

    User name for the Oracle authenticated login account or the account being impersonated.

    The best practice recommendation is to avoid using the Oracle SYS account when adding Oracle endpoints.

    Password

    Password for the Oracle authenticated login account or the account being impersonated.

  9. (Optional) To add more information about the endpoint, complete the following endpoint properties.

  10. (Optional) To add the endpoint to a group, complete the following steps:

    1. Click Add Endpoint to a Group, and then click Groups.

    2. To add the endpoint to an existing group, select the group.

    3. To add a new group for the endpoint, enter the new group name and description, and then click Create New Group.

    4. Click Finish to return to the Define Endpoint window.

  11. (Optional) To add more than one endpoint, click Add Endpoint. Repeat Step 5 through Step 10 for each endpoint that you want to add.
