Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OPS$
Well, yes, the can set their name to SYSTEM, SYS, SCOTT, whatever, and so long as your authentication demands an OPS$ or basically any other non null string of characters, who cares? OPS$SYSTEM is not going to wind up being a DBA... now, if OPS$STILL is a DBA, and someone sets their PC to STILL, then you've got a problem.
The long and short of it is that the OPS security is only as good as the box it is serving. If you're on any computer with C level security or higher, there is nothing wrong with using OPS$ as you are using operating system level security. So, if, for example, you are using VMS, MVS, CDC, Cray, or anything us old folks might have used 10 years ago, OPS$ is terrific. If your operating system is making Bill Gates richer, you have no security to speak of.
The question you want to ask yourself is how good is your front-end security?
