1This factor defines the host name and retrieval method for a database2This factor defines the IP Address and retrieval method for a database server3This factor defines the instance identifier and retrieval method for a database instance4This factor defines the IP Address and retrieval method for a client to the database server5Returns the method of authentication. Password-authenticated enterprise user, local database user, or SYSDBA or SYSOPER using Password File or proxy with username using password returns PASSWORD. Kerberos-authenticated enterprise or external user returns KERBEROS. SSL-authenticated enterprise or external user returns SSL. Radius-authenticated external user returns RADIUS. OS-authenticated external user or SYSDBA or SYSOPER returns OS. DCE-authenticated external user returns DCE. Proxy with certificate, DN, or username without using password returns NONE. You can use IDENTIFICATION_TYPE to distinguish between external and enterprise users when the authentication method is Password, Kerberos, or SSL.6Returns the way the user's schema was created in the database. Specifically, it reflects the IDENTIFIED clause in the CREATE/ALTER USER syntax. The syntax used during schema creation is followed by the identification type returned. IDENTIFIED BY password returns LOCAL. IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY returns EXTERNAL. IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY returns GLOBAL SHARED.IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY AS DN returns GLOBAL PRIVATE. 7Domain of the database as specified in the DB_DOMAIN initialization parameter.8Name of the database as specified in the DB_NAME initialization parameter.9The ISO abbreviation for the language name, a shorter form than the existing LANGUAGE parameter.10The language and territory currently used by your session, along with the database character set, in this form: language_territory.characterset11Network protocol being used for communication, as specified in the PROTOCOL=protocol portion of the connect string.12Name of the database user who opened the current session on behalf of SESSION_USER.13Returns the Oracle Internet Directory DN when the proxy user is an enterprise user. 14For enterprises users, returns the schema. Database user name by which the current user is authenticated. This value remains the same throughout the duration of the session.15A named collection of physical, configuration or implementation-specific factors in the runtime environment (e.g. a networked IT environment or subset of it) that operates at a specific sensitivity level. A domain can be identified via a number of Factors such as the hostname, IP address, and database instance names of the Database Vault nodes in a secure access path to the database. Each domain can be uniquely determined using a combination of the factor identifiers that identify the domain. These identifying factors and possibly additional factors can be used to define the Maximum Security Label within the domain, restricting data access and commands depending on the physical factors about the Database Vault session. Example domains of interest may be Corporate Sensitive, Internal Public, Partners, and Customers.16Provides the machine name for the current session17The user's enterprise-wide identity. For enterprise users this returns the Oracle Internet Directory DN. For external this users returns the external identity (Kerberos principal name, Radius and DCE schema names, OS user name, Certificate DN). For local users and SYSDBA and SYSOPER logins returns NULL. The value of the attribute differs by proxy method. For a proxy with DN, the Oracle Internet Directory DN of the client. For a proxy with certificate, the certificate DN of the client for external users; the Oracle Internet Directory DN for global users. For a proxy with username, the Oracle Internet Directory DN if the client is an enterprise users; NULL if the client is a local database user.
