Re: Smart Client Application and Oracle Security

Jordan,

Hopefully you'll get some expert replies. In the meantime, I have a simple
suggestion.
Have one username for your schema owner. This schema owns all the
application's objects.
Use other usernames for access. This simple strategy allows you to increase
security in a number of ways. When every access method uses the same
username, then you can't change the password without telling it again to
everyone. If each access method (clients, report viewers, etc.) use
different usernames, then when you have a runaway process you can track it
to the source more quickly.
