Meridian must use the MERIDIAN account to create the first vault in an Oracle instance. Afterward, the account name and/or password may be changed, if necessary to comply with your organization’s security policies. We recommend that you set it to the account described in Grant Domain Privileges With a Service Account.
To change the Oracle account name or password used by Meridian to access Oracle, modify or create (if necessary) registry values in the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores
The values are described in the following table:
| Value | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
ORA_<InstanceName>_ |
STRING |
Account name to access Oracle. |
|
ORA_<InstanceName> _ |
BINARY |
Password for the account specified by ORA_<InstanceName>_ |
If Oracle is located on the Meridian application server, <InstanceName> may be omitted, so the values look like: ORA__AccountName, and ORA__Password.
When <InstanceName> is omitted, the value names still contain two underscores.
The value for ORA_<InstanceName>_Password can be either a binary value (default) or a plain text string value. You can secure a plain-text password by applying permissions to the Installed DataStores key with Registry Editor. Be aware that the account that the Accruent EDM Server service is running under (SYSTEM, by default) must have full access to this key.
