Affect of reducing maxlogins to 10 on exadata computenodes

in Exadata General (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

So security scan flagging OL6-00-000319 to reduce the max number of concurrent sessions for all users from 1000 to 10

Edit the following option in /etc/security/limits.conf:

* hard maxlogins 10

Opened ticket with MOS and they pointed to Doc ID 2614471.1 which points to this script

/opt/oracle.cellos/host_access_control apply-defaults --strict_compliance_only

which seems to change several settings to more compliant values however not sure if this is viable for exadata - can the cluster/exadata operations continue with such a small number on the grid and oracle users?

Howdy, Stranger!
