Database Credentials

Use this page to secure your database with passwords for the Enterprise Manager accounts.

You can set a single password, which will be applied to each of these Enterprise Manager user accounts, or enhance the security of the accounts by providing unique passwords for each.

The following table describes the accounts you must secure on this page:

Account Description
SYSMAN The SYSMAN user represents the Enterprise Manager super administrator account. This Enterprise Manager super administator can create and modify other Enterprise Manager administrator accounts, as well as administer the database instance itself.
DBSNMP The DBSNMP user is used by Enterprise Manager to monitor the database. Enterprise Manager uses this account to access performance statistics about the database. The DBSNMP credentials are sometimes referred to as the monitoring credentials.

For more information about the DBSNMP and SYSMAN accounts, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager online help after you install the database. For more information about Oracle Enterprise Manager, see Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts.
