What is the difference between the Weblogic OPSS "Security Stores" and "Audit Store"

david_mcaffee

The "Audit Store" is listed with the security stores and also has a separate configuration for the "Audit Service". The service configuration states that if a data source is not specified then the default is a file-based audit store. I find that the "Security Store" database is configured and there are records in the IAU tables. I have read the documentation and can't find an explanation for two different data sources. I am grateful for any help provided.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi David,

Welcome to Oracle Analytics community!

If you are asking purely with the context of Weblogic, then you should ask in a Weblogic forum. However, I will assume you are asking within the context of Oracle Analytics Server (or even Oracle Business Intelligence ).

OPSS - Oracle Platform Security Services hosts the policy store (in the "RCU" database) which is used to control authorization and stores the application role definitions, and their mapping to groups.

Audit Services (IAU) - Can be used for Auditing Publisher catalog objects.
Audit Data of Publisher Catalog Objects

Weblogic itself, has auditing capabilities.

Hope that helps, other comments welcomed.

Thanks for asking your question.

Very helpful information.

Thank you very much @SteveF-Oracle for sharing.

The end goal would be to be able to report on events across all the applications including OAS but now I'm trying to configure the stores and I'm not sure about the uses of the two database connection configurations above.
