Account administration guidelinesYou could take a look at the O'Reilly Oracle Security book and see if that has the information you need. Here is the table of contents:

  Hi

  Does any have (or can you refer me to) documentation re account admin guidelines for an Oracle environment?
  I am having no luck with Oracle support or Metalink.   We have a fairly extended environment - 2 Financials databases and a datawarehouse (in development). I need some idea of "best of breed" - for example what format the username should be, must the password be set to expire after a certain time, do I use roles or not etc.

  Any help would be much appreciated
