ADD_PRIVILEGE Procedure
Note:
This procedure is deprecated in Oracle Database 12c. While the procedure remains available in the package for reasons of backward compatibility, Oracle recommends using the APPEND_HOST_ACE Procedure and the APPEND_WALLET_ACE Procedure.This procedure adds a privilege to grant or deny the network access to the user. The access control entry (ACE) is created if it does not exist.
Parameters
Table 101-4 ADD_PRIVILEGE Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
acl | Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to '/sys/acls' |
principal | Principal (database user or role) to whom the privilege is granted or denied. Case sensitive. |
is_grant | Privilege is granted or denied. |
privilege | Network privilege to be granted or denied |
position | Position (1-based) of the ACE. If a non- NULL value is given, the privilege will be added in a new ACE at the given position and there should not be another ACE for the principal with the same is_grant (grant or deny). If a NULL value is given, the privilege will be added to the ACE matching the principal and the is_grant if one exists, or to the end of the ACL if the matching ACE does not exist. |
start_date | Start date of the access control entry (ACE). When specified, the ACE will be valid only on and after the specified date. The start_date will be ignored if the privilege is added to an existing ACE. |
end_date | End date of the access control entry (ACE). When specified, the ACE expires after the specified date. The end_date must be greater than or equal to the start_date . The end_date will be ignored if the privilege is added to an existing ACE. |
Usage Notes
To remove the permission, use the DELETE_PRIVILEGE Procedure.
APPEND_HOST_ACE Procedure
This procedure appends an access control entry (ACE) to the access control list (ACL) of a network host. The ACL controls access to the given host from the database and the ACE specifies the privileges granted to or denied from the specified principal.
Parameters
Table 101-5 APPEND_HOST_ACE Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
host | The host, which can be the name or the IP address of the host. You can use a wildcard to specify a domain or a IP subnet. The host or domain name is case-insensitive. |
lower_port | Lower bound of an optional TCP port range |
upper_port | Upper bound of an optional TCP port range. If NULL , lower_port is assumed. |
ace | The ACE |
Usage Notes
- Duplicate privileges in the matching ACE in the host ACL will be skipped.
- To remove the ACE, use the REMOVE_HOST_ACE Procedure.
- A host's ACL takes precedence over its domains' ACLs. For a given host, say
www.us.example.com
, the following domains are listed in decreasing precedence:www.us.example.com
*.us.example.com
*.example.com
*.com
*
- An IP address' ACL takes precedence over its subnets' ACLs. For a given IP address, say
192.168.0.100
, the following subnets are listed in decreasing precedence:192.168.0.100
192.168.0.*
192.168.*
192.*
*
- An ACE with a 'resolve' privilege can be appended only to a host's ACL without a port range.
- When ACEs with 'connect' privileges are appended to a host's ACLs with and without a port range, the one appended to the host with a port range takes precedence.
- When specifying a TCP port range of a host, it cannot overlap with other existing port ranges of the host.
- If the ACL is shared with another host or wallet, a copy of the ACL will be made before the ACL is modified.

Table 101-8 APPEND_WALLET_ACL Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
wallet_path | Directory path of the wallet. The path is case-sensitive of the format file: directory-path . |
ace | The ACL from which to append |

ASSIGN_ACL Procedure
Note:
This procedure is deprecated in Oracle Database 12c. While the procedure remains available in the package for reasons of backward compatibility, Oracle recommends using the APPEND_HOST_ACE Procedure and the APPEND_WALLET_ACE Procedure.This procedure assigns an access control list (ACL) to a host computer, domain, or IP subnet, and if specified, the TCP port range.
Parameters
Table 101-9 ASSIGN_ACL Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
acl | Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to ' /sys/acls '. |
host | Host to which the ACL is to be assigned. The host can be the name or the IP address of the host. A wildcard can be used to specify a domain or a IP subnet. The host or domain name is case-insensitive. |
lower_port | Lower bound of a TCP port range if not NULL |
upper_port | Upper bound of a TCP port range. If NULL , lower_port is assumed. |
Usage Notes
- Only one ACL can be assigned to any host computer, domain, or IP subnet, and if specified, the TCP port range. When you assign a new access control list to a network target, Oracle Database unassigns the previous access control list that was assigned to the same target. However, Oracle Database does not drop the access control list. You can drop the access control list by using the DROP_ACL Procedure. To remove an access control list assignment, use the UNASSIGN_ACL Procedure.
- The ACL assigned to a domain takes a lower precedence than the other ACLs assigned sub-domains, which take a lower precedence than the ACLs assigned to the individual hosts. So for a given host, for example, 'www.us.example.com', the following domains are listed in decreasing precedences:- www.us.example.com- *.us.example.com- *.example.com- *.com- *In the same way, the ACL assigned to an subnet takes a lower precedence than the other ACLs assigned smaller subnets, which take a lower precedence than the ACLs assigned to the individual IP addresses. So for a given IP address, for example, '192.168.0.100', the following subnets are listed in decreasing precedences:- 192.168.0.100- 192.168.0.*- 192.168.*- 192.*- *
- The port range is applicable only to the 'connect' privilege assignments in the ACL. The 'resolve' privilege assignments in an ACL have effects only when the ACL is assigned to a host without a port range.For the 'connect' privilege assignments, an ACL assigned to the host without a port range takes a lower precedence than other ACLs assigned to the same host with a port range.
- When specifying a TCP port range, both
lower_port
andupper_port
must not beNULL
andupper_port
must be greater than or equal tolower_port
. The port range must not overlap with any other port ranges for the same host assigned already. - To remove the assignment, use UNASSIGN_ACL Procedure.
