We are moving all of our instances to AIX from Windows and VMS.
Since I have been the only DBA on the new AIX servers, I have been
using the oracle OS user login. Now that we are moving into production,
we have several DBAs and would like all of us to log in using our specific
username
and su to oracle user or be able to do anything needed as if we were the
oracle user. We are currently able to do this on Windows and VMS.
My AIX administrator tells me this cannot be done without everyone knowing the
oracle OS user password.
Is there any other way we can do this without everyone knowing the oracle OS
password? Or am I missing something and being too cautious? Can we not use
sudo or something like this?
Or is SU and SUDO the same thing? I've googled and searched but have found
nothing
regarding best practices or what other sites are doing. And if everyone has to
know the Oracle
OS password, what keeps people from just logging in as Oracle?
Any direction or information appreciated.
Thanks!
Dianna G.
