The DBMS must notify appropriate individuals when accounts are terminated.
Description
Discussion Text
When application accounts are terminated, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual application users or for identifying the application processes themselves.
In order to detect and respond to events that affect user accessibility and application processing, applications must notify the appropriate individuals when an account is terminated so they can investigate the event. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that application accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes.
Note that user authentication and account management must be done via an enterprise-wide mechanism whenever possible. Examples of enterprise-level authentication/access mechanisms include, but are not limited to, Active Directory and LDAP. This requirement applies to cases where accounts are directly managed by Oracle.
Notwithstanding how accounts are normally managed, the DBMS must support the requirement to notify appropriate individuals upon account termination within Oracle. Indeed, in a configuration where accounts are managed externally, the manipulation of an account within Oracle may indicate hostile activity.
