Purpose

Adds a new security administrator for an Oracle ACFS file system.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec admin add -h
acfsutil sec admin add admin

acfsutil sec admin add -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-52 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec admin add command.

Security administrators are common for all Oracle ACFS file systems in a cluster. A temporary password must be provided for the new security administrator. The password must conform to the format that is described in "acfsutil sec init".

The new security administrator can change the password with the acfsutil sec admin password command. For information, refer to "acfsutil sec admin password".

Security administrators are allowed to browse all directories in an Oracle ACFS file system whether they have the underlying operating system permissions and whether any realm checks allow it. This exception enables a security administrator to check the location of the files when securing them with Oracle ACFS security realms. However, a security administrator cannot view the contents of individual files without the appropriate operating system and security realm permissions.

Only an existing security administrator can run this command.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the acfsutil sec admin add command.

Purpose

Changes the password of a security administrator for an Oracle ACFS file system.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec admin password -h
acfsutil sec admin password

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec info -h
acfsutil sec info -m mount_point
     [{-n [realm] | -l [rule] |-s [ruleset] |-c }] [-S snap_name]

acfsutil sec info -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-57 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec info command.

The acfsutil sec info command retrieves information about the list of realms, rules, and rule sets on the specified mount point. By specifying a particular realm, rule, or ruleset, you can retrieve information specific about the specified realm, rule, or ruleset. You can also display information about a specified snapshot.

If the -m option is specified without any other options, then the security enabled status and prepared status are displayed for the specified mount point.

To access files in the system security realms, the user should be assigned as a security administrator with the acfsutil sec admin add command. Only a security administrator can run this command.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the acfsutil sec info command.

Purpose

Lists the names of the Oracle ACFS security realms that the specified file or directory belongs to.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec info file -h
acfsutil sec info file -m mount_point path

acfsutil sec info file -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-58 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec info file command.

This command also displays the encryption status of files.

Only a security administrator can run this command.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the acfsutil sec info file command.

Purpose

Initializes Oracle ACFS security.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec init -h
acfsutil sec init -u admin -g admin_sec_group

acfsutil sec init -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-59 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec init command.

The acfsutil sec init command creates the storage necessary for security credentials and identifies an operating system user as the first security administrator. The command also identifies the operating system group that is the designated security group. All users that are security administrators must be members of the designated security group. Security administrators are common for all Oracle ACFS file systems.

If you are setting up an OS user and OS group, refer to your operating system-specific (OS) documentation for information.

The acfsutil sec init command is run once to set up Oracle ACFS security for each cluster and can be run from any node in the cluster. Other security commands can also be run from any node in a cluster.

Only the root user or Windows Administrator user can run this command. The user specifies a password for the security administrator. The security administrator password must conform to the following format:

• The maximum number of characters is 20.

• The minimum number of characters is 8.

• The password must contain at least one digit.

• The password must contain at least one letter.

The new security administrator can change the password with the acfsutil sec admin password command. For information, refer to "acfsutil sec admin password".

Security administrators are allowed to browse all directories in an Oracle ACFS file system whether they have the underlying operating system permissions and whether any realm checks allow it. This exception enables a security administrator to check the location of the files when securing them with Oracle ACFS security realms. However, a security administrator cannot view the contents of individual files without the appropriate operating system and security realm permissions.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the acfsutil sec init command.

Purpose

Loads Oracle ACFS security metadata into a file system identified by a mount point.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec load -h
acfsutil sec load -m mount_point -p file

acfsutil sec load -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-60 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec load command.

The acfsutil sec load command loads the security metadata in a saved XML file into the specified Oracle ACFS file system. acfsutil sec load restores only user-created security policies; the command does not add files to the realms.

acfsutil sec load and acfsutil sec save can be used together to copy user-created policies from one file system to another. For example, if you have security policies on one file system that you want to replicate on other file systems, then use acfsutil sec save on the source file system to create an XML backup file. Next, use acfsutil sec load on the other destination file systems to load the saved security metadata and create the same policies. After creating the policies, you can choose to apply policies on different directories and files on that file system by adding directories and files in different realms, according to the policies you want to impose on those files.

To run the acfsutil sec load command, the destination mount point must have a file system that has been prepared for security and does not contain any user-created security objects.

If the file system mounted on destination mount point contains security objects, then you must run acfsutil sec prepare -u to remove all previously created security objects on the file system. After successfully running acfsutil sec prepare -u, you must run acfsutil sec prepare to prepare the file system for security. After successfully running acfsutil sec prepare, you can run acfsutil sec load on the file system. For information about preparing security on or removing security from a file system, refer to "acfsutil sec prepare".

The acfsutil sec load command does not load system security realms from the backup file. System security realms are created with the acfsutil sec prepare command; acfsutil sec load does not re-create these realms. For information about the system-created security realms, refer to "acfsutil sec prepare".

Only a security administrator can run this command.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the acfsutil sec load command.

Purpose

Prepares an Oracle ACFS file system for security features.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec prepare -h
acfsutil sec prepare [-u] -m mount_point

acfsutil sec prepare -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-61 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec prepare command.

The acfsutil sec prepare command must be run before any of the realm management commands. This command prepares the specified Oracle ACFS file system for security and by default turns security on for the file system.

When running acfsutil sec prepare -u, ensure that no other Oracle ACFS security commands are run until acfsutil sec prepare has completed.

If auditing is initialized on a cluster, this command also enables an Oracle ACFS security auditing source on the file system. The actions performed when enabling this audit source are the same as those done when the acfsutil audit enable command is run directly. For more information, refer to "acfsutil audit enable".

This command creates the /mount_point/.Security, /mount_point/.Security/backup, and /mount_point/.Security/realm/logs directories where mount_point is the option specified in the command line.

This command creates the following system security realms:

• SYSTEM_Logs

  This is a system-created realm to protect the Oracle ACFS security log files in the directory .Security/realm/logs/ directory.

• SYSTEM_Audit

  This is a system-created realm to protect audit trail files. This realm is created if auditing has been initialized. If auditing has not been initialized, it is created when auditing is enabled for the security source through the acfsutil audit enable command. This realm secures the audit trail file so that the audit manager can read and write and the auditor can read the file, and no one else has access. This realm also protects the audit trail file so the audit manager cannot delete (without running the acfsutil audit purge command), truncate, overwrite, or chmod the file.

• SYSTEM_SecurityMetadata

  This is a system-created realm to protect the Oracle ACFS metadata XML file in the directory .Security/backup/ directory.

• SYSTEM_Antivirus

  This is a system-created realm that allows access for the antivirus software that is running on an Oracle ACFS file system. For every realm protected file or directory, the SYSTEM_Antivirus realm is evaluated when authorization checks are performed to determine if the SYSTEM_Antivirus realm allows access to the file or directory.

  To allow the antivirus process to access realm-protected files or directories, you must add the LocalSystem or SYSTEM group to the realm with the acfsutil sec realm add command, as shown in Example 16-58. If other antivirus processes are running as Administrator, then the user Administrator must be added to the SYSTEM_Antivirus realm to allow access to realm protected files and directories.

  If no Antivirus products have been installed, do not add any users or groups to the SYSTEM_Antivirus realm. Because users or groups added to the SYSTEM_Antivirus realm have READ and READDIR access, limit the users or groups added to this realm. You can restrict the time window when the users or groups of this realm can access the realm protected files or directories with time-based rules. You can also have application-based rules if you can identify the process name for the antivirus installation that scans the files.

  The SYSTEM_Antivirus realm can only perform the following operations on a file or directory: OPEN, READ, READDIR, and setting time attributes. To remove or delete files or directories, you may need to disable security to clean up the infected files.

  This realm is set up only for Windows systems.

• SYSTEM_BackupOperators

  This is a system-created realm that enables you to authorize users that can back up realm-secured files and directories. You can add users, groups, rule sets, and command rules to this realm to provide fine-grain authorization for backing up realm-secured files and directories. A user must be added to this realm to back up realm-secured files and directories.

  Use caution when adding groups to this system realm. After you add a group to this system realm, all the users of the added group are able to override the realm protections to access files.

To access files in the system security realms, the user should be assigned as a security administrator with the acfsutil sec admin add command.

You can add users, groups, rule sets, and command rules to system-created realms with the acfsutil sec realm add command, the same as for user-created realms. However, adding files and directories to system realms is not recommended. You can use the acfsutil sec realm delete command to delete objects from the system-created realms.

System-created security realms cannot be removed by a security administrator with the acfsutil sec admin destroy command. These realms are only removed when security is backed out of a file system when executing the acfsutil sec prepare command with the -u option.

The acfsutil sec prepare –u command is not allowed if any snapshots exist in the file system.

Only a security administrator can run the acfsutil sec prepare command.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the acfsutil sec prepare command.

Purpose

Adds objects to an Oracle ACFS security realm.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec realm add -h
acfsutil sec realm add realm -m mount_point 
   {[-u user, ...] [-G os_group,...]
    [-l commandrule:ruleset,commandrule:ruleset, ...]
    [-e [-a {AES}] [-k {128|192|256}]]
    [-f [ -r] path ...]}

acfsutil sec realm add -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-62 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec realm add command.

The acfsutil sec realm add command adds objects to the specified realm. The objects to be added include users, groups, command rules, rule sets, and files. If the command encounters an error when adding an object, a message is displayed and the command continues processing the remaining objects.

Multiple entries can be added in a comma-delimited list when adding users, operating system groups, or command rules. Do not use spaces in the comma-delimited list. If spaces are added, then enclose the list in quotes.

If the -e option is specified, then encryption must have been initialized for the cluster and set on the file system. For more information, refer to "acfsutil encr init" and "acfsutil encr set".

If the entire mount point, which includes the .Security directory, is added to the realm then the security administrator operating system group should be added to the realm to maintain security logging and backing up operations.

The supported command are rules listed in Table 16-63. These command rules restrict or protect against file system operations on realm-secured files and directories.

Only a security administrator can run this command.

Examples

Example 16-58 shows the use of the acfsutil sec realm add command. The first acfsutil sec command adds a user group to a security realm. The second and third commands add the LocalSystem or SYSTEM group to the SYSTEM_Antivirus realm in a Windows environment.

Purpose

Disables auditing of a specific command rule or all command rules for files in an Oracle ACFS security realm.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec realm audit disable -h
acfsutil sec realm audit disable realm -m mount_point
     [-l commandrule,commandrule,...] {-a |-v }

acfsutil sec realm audit disable -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-64 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec realm audit disable command.

Multiple entries can be added in a comma-delimited list when listing command rules. Do not use spaces in the comma-delimited list. If spaces are added, then enclose the list in quotes.

Only a security administrator can run this command. This command is authenticated using the Oracle ACFS security administrator password.

Examples

Example 16-59 shows the use of the acfsutil sec realm audit disable command. This command disables auditing on the OPEN (all violations) and WRITE (all violations) command rules.

Purpose

Enables auditing of a specific command rule or all command rules for files in an Oracle ACFS security realm.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec realm audit enable -h
acfsutil sec realm audit enable realm -m mount_point
     [-l commandrule,commandrule,...]
     [-a ] [-v [ -u] ]

acfsutil sec realm audit enable -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-65 contains the options available with the acfsutil sec realm audit enable command.

If the acfsutil sec realm audit enable command is run multiple times, then the earlier configuration is not negated and the new settings are also applied. An exception to this behavior occurs when the command is run with the –v option and the specified command rule has auditing set for realm violations. In this case, the behavior is updated according to whether the –u flag was specified. For more information, see Example 16-62.

Multiple entries can be added in a comma-delimited list when listing command rules. Do not use spaces in the comma-delimited list. If spaces are added, then enclose the list in quotes.

If neither –a or –v are specified with the acfsutil sec realm audit enable command, the default is –v. Both –a and –v can be specified.

Only a security administrator can run this command. This command is authenticated using the Oracle ACFS security administrator password.

Examples

Example 16-60 shows how to enable auditing of the Oracle ACFS backup operators. Because these users are allowed access to files through the SYSTEM_Backup realm and are granted special privileges that give them access to all files on the file system, a security administrator may want to audit their actions. After the command is executed, any time a member of the SYSTEM_Backup realm opens a file an audit record is written to the Oracle ACFS Security audit trail on the file system.

Example 16-61 shows how to use the –u option to audit realm violations by users who are part of the realm. In this scenario sensitive human resources information is stored in HumanResources security realm and the hr group is allowed to access this information. However, a ruleset applied to the ALL command rule prevents access to this data from 6 PM to 8 AM. With this command, the security administrator could discover if any human resource employees are attempting to access sensitive data outside of the allowed time period. After this command is executed, only access violations by users who are members of the hr group are audited.

Example 16-62 shows multiple runs of the acfsutil sec realm audit enable command. After run 1, the OPEN (all violations) and WRITE (all violations) command rules are audited. After run 2, the OPEN (all violations), WRITE (all violations), and DELETEFILE (authorizations) command rules are audited. After run 3, the OPEN (authorizations and realm user violations), WRITE (all violations), DELETEFILE (authorizations), and TRUNCATE (authorizations and realm user violations) command rules are audited. After run 4, all violations are audited on all command rules. In addition, authorizations are audited for OPEN, DELETEFILE, and TRUNCATE.

Purpose

Displays the realm auditing information for a specified Oracle ACFS security realm.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil sec realm audit info -h
