April:
Wanted to chime in on this one but didn’t have time. The APPS password is generally secure
within the DBA group, HOWEVER, it can be seen by almost everyone that has
access to UNIX or Concurrent Manager. Why? Because it
can be seen from the command line.
Unfortunately, this portion of apps was not well protected.
Oracle was working on a solution to this but it appears it will not be
fixed until 12i or later. Thank You Stephen

Message----- Okay, anyone using Financials... E-Business suite... Oracle 11i...
whatever you want to call it... I am trying to apply SOME kind of security to my databases.
It appears that it is critical for everyone to be able to access production
using the APPS id.... Finance and accounting people, developers, everyone.
What does everyone else do in their setups? The newest reason is the need
to run the new Mass Additions Trace which apparently requires that you use the
apps id. We have found a way to set up any user with a read only version of
what APPS has (since they have to be able to compile reports in production
and access production data live rather than a month old clone), but Oracle says
that you need to run Mass Additions Trace as apps. Does anyone let the entire company have the production apps
user's password? April Wells
