Hello,
[Quoted] We are looking to reduce internal credit card fraud in our company by setting up user security in Oracle so that everyone has their own unique ID [Quoted] and password and so that passwords expire every 90 days.
The problem: We have many applications that were created in-house that contain embedded ID's and passwords so I was told we can't change ID's and passwords in Oracle. My questions are:
- What are other people doing out there in a case like this? Is there any way to take the embedded ID's and passwords out of the applications and still have them function correctly?
- Or can we leave an ID embedded in an application without embedding the password so the user using the app will be prompted for a password each time [Quoted] they use the app? This way we could set expiring passwords, lockout settings etc.
[Quoted] I'm a newbie with Oracle - any info appreciated!
