AUDIT

Enables policy-specific auditing. Audit records capture Oracle OLS administrative actions and the use of Oracle Label Security privileges
that were used during logons, DML executions, and trusted stored procedure invocations

sa_audit_admin.audit(

      policy_name  IN VARCHAR2,

      users        IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,

      audit_option IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,

      audit_type   IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,  -- options 'BY ACCESS' or 'BY SESSION'

      success      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL); -- options 'SUCCESSFUL' or 'NOT SUCCESSFUL'

          Description
        
        
          APPLY
          Audits application of specified Oracle Label Security policies to tables and schemas
        
        
          PRIVILEGES
          Audits use of all policy-specific privileges
        
        
          REMOVE
          Audits removal of specified Oracle Label Security policies from tables and schemas
        
        
          SET
          Audits the setting of user authorizations, and user and program privileges

exec sa_audit_admin.audit('DATA_ACCESS');

AUDIT_LABEL

Records policy labels during auditing sa_audit_admin.audit_label(policy_name IN VARCHAR2);

exec sa_audit_admin.audit_label('DATA_ACCESS');

AUDIT_LABEL_ENABLED

Returns a flag indicating whether labels are being recorded in audit records for the policy sa_audit_admin.audit_label_enabled(policy_name IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN;

BEGIN

        IF sa_audit_admin.audit_label_enabled('DATA_ACCESS') THEN

          dbms_output.put_line('T');

        ELSE

          dbms_output.put_line('F');

        END IF;

      END;

      /

      

      SELECT COUNT(*)

      FROM ols_admin.ols_aud$;

AUDIT_LABEL_ENABLED_SQL

Undocumented but identical in function to AUDIT_LABEL_ENABLED, above, except that it returns an integer value and the function can be incorporated into SQL statements sa_audit_admin.audit_label_enabled_sql(policy_name IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER;

SELECT sa_audit_admin.audit_label_enabled_sql('DATA_ACCESS')

      FROM dual;

CREATE_VIEW

Creates an audit trail view named DBA_policyname_AUDIT_TRAIL but the user can optionally specify a different name sa_audit_admin.create_view( policy_name IN VARCHAR2, view_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

exec sa_audit_admin.create_view('DATA_ACCESS', 'OLS_AUD$_DAP');

DROP_VIEW

Drops the OLS auditing view sa_audit_admin.drop_view( policy_name IN VARCHAR2, view_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

exec sa_audit_admin.drop_view('DATA_ACCESS', 'OLS_AUD$_DAP');

NOAUDIT

Disables Oracle Label Security policy specific auditing

A list of audit options is associated with the AUDIT procedure above sa_audit_admin.noaudit( policy_name IN VARCHAR2, users IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, audit_option IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL

exec sa_audit_admin.noaudit('DATA_ACCESS');

NOAUDIT_LABEL

Disables the auditing of policy labels sa_audit_admin.noaudit_label();

exec sa_audit_admin.noaudit_label('DATA_ACCESS');
