The DBMS must automatically audit account termination.
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 affecting user accessibility and application processing, applications must audit account terminating actions and notify the appropriate individuals 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 should 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.
However, notwithstanding how accounts are managed, Oracle auditing must always be configured to capture account termination.
