Enterprise users are defined and managed in the directory and can be authenticated to the database either with a password or with a certificate. Users who authenticate with a password require an Oracle Database password, which is stored in the directory. Users who authenticate with a certificate must have a valid X.509 v3 certificate.
This utility performs the following steps during migration:
Selects the users from the database for migration.
Creates corresponding user entries or uses existing entries in the directory.
Creates new database passwords and copies the corresponding verifiers to the directory for migrating users.
Puts the schema mapping information for the migrating users' entries in the directory. (optional)
Drops or alters the migrating users' local database schemas. (optional)
Note:
In the current release, the utility migrates users with certificate-based authentication and makes them ready for password authentication. Previously, SSL-based authenticated users were required to reset their Oracle Database passwords. User wallets are not created as part of this process.
