Configuring the Oracle account used by Meridian

Meridian must use the MERIDIAN account to create the first vault in an Oracle instance. Afterward, the account name and/or password may be changed, if necessary to comply with your organization’s security policies.

To change the Oracle account name or password used by Meridian to access Oracle, modify or create (if necessary) registry values in the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores

The values are described in the following table:

If Oracle is located on the Meridian application server, <SchemaName> may be omitted, so the values look like: ORA_<SchemaName>_AccountName, and ORA_<SchemaName>_Password.

Note    When <SchemaName> is omitted, the value names still contain two underscores.

Tip    The value for ORA_<SchemaName>_Password can be either a binary value (default) or a plain-text string value. You can secure a plain-text password by applying permissions to the Installed DataStores key with Registry Editor. Be aware that the account that the AutoManager EDM Server service is running under (SYSTEM, by default) must have full access to this key.
