Functionality and maintainability of the ASO for the Strong Authentication server-side configuration in a shared server environment, which includes both ASO and non-ASO databases. b. Functionality and maintainability of the ASO for the Strong Authentication client-side configuration on desktop, terminal server, mid-tier server and Unix clients. c. Verification that the configuration correctly supports data transfers through current user database links between databases and recommendations for maintaining the viability of the links as databases are added or removed. d. Assisting in designing reliable methods for re-initiation of the ASO configuration after the database server is rebooted. 2. Provide an assessment in the existing Oracle Internet Directory (“OID”) deployment. The assessment will include the master node in a fan-out replication configuration and at least one slave replica along with consideration and recommendations for: a. Security: To assess the security configuration of the Application Server and recommend improvements to harden the configuration from intrusion. b. Security Delegation: To assess the current delegation of OID administration privileges and provide recommendations on the functions that can safely be delegated to privileged accounts other than the OID administration account. c. Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) Security: To provide assistance in setting up an environment where the OID administration account can be authenticated with Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) certificates in lieu of a password, communicating with OID over encrypted network connections and also to identify other opportunities where SSL communications could be used. d. Security audit: To review the current configuration for auditing at the OID level (not the database level) and provide recommendations on managing the information life cycle of audit data. e. Performance: To assess the performance of the OID system as a naming service as well as an authorization engine and to provide recommendations for improving performance of those functions at both the client and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (“LDAP”) server levels. f. Scalability: To assess the current plan for scaling the OID infrastructure to worldwide scope and provide recommendations on the adequacy of the plan. g. Replication: To assess the functionality of the current replication topology for OID and provide recommendations for streamlining the process to build new replicated nodes. h. Database versioning: To provide recommendations in the development of a database versioning plan that would allow you to upgrade the underlying OID database to newer patch levels (both functional patches and security Central Processing Units (“CPU”s) and to also assess which, if any, changes need to be made to the OID infrastructure to support authorization of Oracle 11g target databases. I. Application Server versioning: To assist in creation of a demonstration implementation for the most-recently available version of OID. If possible, this should include the ability to perform Windows Native Authentication in a multi-domain Active Directory forest. j. To assist with setting up Single –Sign-On (SSO) capability on one existing Apex (Application Express) application. k. To provide advice on detection methods and risk mitigation to deal with a recurring problem where the Oracle Internet Directory “locks up” preventing additional new connections to databases. l. To investigate or recommend a method of registering a database in OID by command line or script rather than using the Database Configuration Assistant (“DBCA”) interface. This would allow automation of what is now a many step manual process. Contact
