Creating a Realm

Oracle ACFS Security realms provide the capability to classify file system objects into functional groups to provide fine-grained access control to data stored in these objects.

Realms are created at the file system level. To enforce security on the file objects in a realm, a ruleset is associated with a command rule which is then applied on the realm.

To create a realm, 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. The Oracle ACFS home page is displayed for this mount point.

  3. Click the Security/Encryption tab.

  4. In the Security section, click Realms.

  5. Click Create. The Create Realm wizard displays along with the available realm options.

  6. Enter the input details and click OK.
