Re: User Logon Auditing

Dennis,
  You said that DBA_USERS has obsolete and duplicate entries. If you gracefully warn the users and age the passwords then you can disable all of the users that do not change the password and also get an accurate list of users for a short period of time. It will also help clean up the users table.
OR
Print a list from the DBAS_USERS.USERNAME and have management tell you which ones are valid and legal then request in writing when a new id is needed. Part of server documentation and CYA. I did that and disabled and finally removed 25% of the logins. Turn over in personell after the start up in 1993 untill I got here in 1999. ROR mª¿ªm

Greetings,
I have a request from my boss to come up with a list of users for a particular database. Since this is 805 database logon trigger is not an
option. Turning on audit trail will be an overkill and not sure if performance will be acceptable if we do that. Other than querying v$session
periodically and hoping to get everybody, is there a better way to do this?
DBA_USERS view is not going to work because there are too many duplicate
and obsolete entries.
