Oracle database installations on Linux

in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC)

Hello, we're looking at moving from Solaris to RHEL 9. Databases currently run under a local system account on Solaris and we're looking at options for Linux. For simplicity, Oracle 19 is the product. We're using OEM for some management, including patching.

Currently, we access the server using our AD-authenticated admin account and then su into the database account.

We're being asked to try an avoid local accounts to better adhere to password policies, etc.

We're trying to find a way that works best. We do have a PAM solution, though relatively new.

We're testing using an AD service account (Not MSA/GMSA) in place of a local account. This provides the benefits of AD controlled password details, but we still need to manage / rotate the password.
