Project 2 Operating System Security

Task:

In a research process, a graduate student was not able to run the SQL PLus program from Oracle for Windows. The database software was installed successfully under Windows XP Pro. When he was trying to execute the SQL Plus link, the program just closed automatically. After some research, it was identified that the problem was caused by file permission violation. In other words, the login user did not have full control on the file. Now, I am asking you to help resolve the problem, with the following tasks.

  1. Find the file that runs SQL Plus in your system.
  2. Locate the directory or folder where the above file resides.
  3. Illustrate a way to allow full access/control to you as a Oracle user.

 

Report:

You are required to submit a Microsoft Word file that contains the following:

1. Provide the file name of the executable file for Oracle SQL Plus in your computer system. (20 points)

2. Provide a location or folder name from your computer system for the file. (30 points)

3. Provide screen shots to prove that you are able to change the file attributes for the above task 3. (50 points)

Convention for File Name: Please name your file as firstname_lastname_project2.doc, where firstname and lastname are your first and last name, respectively, and "_" is underscore. The file naming convention will be enforced throughout this semester. Five (5) points will be taken off if the file is not named according to the convention.

Due:

At the end of this week. Please see the course schedule for exact due date.
