Initializing Oracle ACFS Security

Oracle ACFS security provides a unified security infrastructure that allows users to define security policies and groups for accessing file system objects. Oracle ACFS encryption allows users to store data on disk in an encrypted format. To initialize Oracle ACFS security, follow these steps:

  1. From the Oracle ASM home page, select the ASM Cluster File System tab to display the mount points in the cluster file system.

    For information about the Oracle ASM home page and how to access that page, see "Accessing the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Home Page".

  2. Click a mount point in the list.

  3. Click the Security/Encryption to display the Security and Encryption section.

  4. In the Security Configuration section, you can click Configuration, Rules, Rulesets, and Realms under Security to display various options as shown in Figure 13-7.

  5. If Oracle ACFS security is not initialized in the cluster, the Initialize Security button displays on the page. Click the button to initialize Oracle ACFS security. This operation needs to be performed only once in the cluster. On this page, you can also prepare security for the file system.
