That's the conundrum. They know the application passwords, there's no way around it. I need to lock them down to a read only session when they log on from sqlplus, SQL Developer, Toad, etc.

But you said management told you they were to no longer have such privileges. IOW - They don't need them.

Game over.

Or are we missing something?

The application developers need the passwords for their applications. We have some old applications so there's no good way around this.

Greetings,

I have convinced management to allow me to grant read-only access to the developers. The problem is that they know the application passwords and have been using those passwords to circumvent my controls. Is there a way via a Is there some reason the obvious solution wont' work?

That is, change the passwords.

It would seem the applications in question are not subject to SarbanesOxley,
HIPAA, PCI or any number of other legislated security policies. Jared Still
