Discussion

Remote administration provides a potential opportunity for malicious users to make unauthorized changes to the Connection Manager configuration or interrupt its service.

Check Content

View the cman.ora file in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.

If the file does not exist, the database is not accessed via Oracle Connection Manager and this check is not a finding.

If the entry and value for REMOTE_ADMIN is not listed or is not set to a value of NO (REMOTE_ADMIN = NO), this is a finding.

Fix Text

View the cman.ora file in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory of the Connection Manager.

Include the following line in the file:

  REMOTE_ADMIN = NO
