service ticket
Trusted information used to authenticate the client. A ticket-granting ticket, which
is also known as the initial ticket, is obtained by directly or indirectly running
okinit and providing a password, and is used by the client to ask for service
tickets. A service ticket is used by a client to authenticate to a service.
session key
A key shared by at least two parties (usually a client and a server) that is used for
data encryption for the duration of a single communication session. Session keys
are typically used to encrypt network traffic; a client and a server can negotiate a
session key at the beginning of a session, and that key is used to encrypt all network
traffic between the parties for that session. If the client and server communicate
again in a new session, they negotiate a new session key.
session layer
A network layer that provides the services needed by the presentation layer entities
that enable them to organize and synchronize their dialogue and manage their data
exchange. This layer establishes, manages, and terminates network sessions
between the client and server. An example of a session layer is Network Session.
SHA
See Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)
shared schema
A database or application schema that can be used by multiple enterprise users.
Oracle Advanced Security supports the mapping of multiple enterprise users to the
same shared schema on a database, which lets an administrator avoid creating an
account for each user in every database. Instead, the administrator can create a user
in one location, the enterprise directory, and map the user to a shared schema that
other enterprise users can also map to. Sometimes called
user/schema separation.
single key-pair wallet
A PKCS #12-format wallet that contains a single user certificate and its associated
private key. The public key is imbedded in the certificate.
single password authentication
The ability of a user to authenticate with multiple databases by using a single
password. In the Oracle Advanced Security implementation, the password is stored
in an LDAP-compliant directory and protected with encryption and Access Control
Lists.
