Exalogic Creating Users and Roles - Part 2

Dear Readers,

My name is Franz Devantier, creator of this blog.  I am an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP DBA 11g) Security DBA.  I will be sharing with you the basic duties of an Oracle DBA, and also some of the undocumented, and not so well known tasks. 

I will make a deal with you:  If you refer me to a company that needs database support, from a few hours per week to full time, and I am able to sign a contract with them.
Then I will give you 10% of the monthly contract or deal price every month.  When the contract ends, and we re-sign the contract, I will again give you 10% of the monthly contract price.  This will go on until the company no longer employs or contracts me or my agents to look after their databases.
I can do this, because that 10% is my marketing budget.  When we re-sign the contract, in the future, it may depend on you giving the thumbs up again, and that is worth 10% of the monthly contract price, to be given to you as commission.

Exalogic Creating Users and Roles -  Part 2 of 3
Creating the Cloud Administrator
Now in turn once the Exalogic Systems Administrator has been created by the Root user, the Exalogic Systems Admin will create the Cloud administrator, or the Cloud Admin, by following a few steps.

1. Log into the BUI of the Exalogic Control using the ELAdmin user
http://<EMOC_IP>
<EMOC_IP> this is the IP address that was assigned to the Enterprise Controller when running Exalogic Configuration Utility (ECU), to configure and bring up the Exalogic Control.  To login use the password “ovsroot”.  You will be redirected to the following  URL:  https://<EMOC_IP>emoc

2. On the home page, go to the left navigation pane and click on “Administration”.    

3.  Click on the “Local Users” option under Enterprise Controller.  The Local Users page is displayed.  If you are going to create a user, then make sure that the user exists on the virtual machine where Enterprise Manager Ops Center Enterprise Controller is running.

4. Click on the “Add User” icon under the users and Notification Profiles.  You could also click on “Add User” on the “Operate” pane.  The “Add User” screen is displayed.

5. You are now going to create the Cloud Administrator:
   . Enter the user name in the “User Name” field.  CloudAdmin.
   . From the list of available roles, select the “Cloud Admin” role and the “User Management Admin” role, and move them to the Selected Roles by clicking the right arrow.  The “User Management Admin” role is to allow the cloud administrator (CloudAdmin) to manage users.
   . To create the Cloud Administrator, click on the “Add User” option.  On the Users and Notification Profiles page the CloudAdmin user is listed.  

6. On the Users and Notification Profiles page, select the CloudAdmin user and click on the “Manage User Roles” icon.  The Manage Roles wizard is displayed.



You must de-select the “Associations” option.  This option is selected by default.

7. Click on the Next button.  The Specify Asset Privileges screen is displayed.
8. Click on the Next button.  The Specify Library Privileges screen is displayed.
9. Click on the Next button.  The Specify Network Privileges screen is displayed.
10. Click on the Next button.  The Specify Plan Management Privileges screen is displayed.
11. Click on the Next button.  The Specify vDC Privileges screen is displayed. 



12. Click on Expand “All Virtual Datacenters”. The default Exalogic vDC “MyCloud” is listed.  Select the “Cloud Admin” option for this MyCloud vDC.  Click on the Next button.  The Summary screen is displayed.




The Summary screen provides a summary of the Asset Privileges, the Library Privileges, the Network privileges, the Report privileges, the Plan Management Privileges, and the vDC privileges.
