been selected. If this file is missing, an error occurs after Access Control
is enabled.

This file is readable and writable only by the instance administrator.
Passwords are stored in encrypted form and are not known to the
instance administrator as one way hashes, so they cannot be recovered.

Daemon port

Though the instance registry enforces portTCP/IP uniqueness for
TimesTen instances, the possibility of the TimesTen main daemon port
conflicting with ports used by non-TimesTen applications always exists.
See

“Changing the daemon port number on UNIX” on page 39

for ways

to change the demon port number after installation.

Authenticating users and privileges

When Access Control is enabled, certain TimesTen utility APIs, XLA
operations, utilities, procedures and SQL operations require user
authentication. For details on each operation, see the specific chapters of
the

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database API Reference Guide

and the

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide

.

All TimesTen utilities prompt for a password if needed. See

Chapter 2,

“Utilities”

in the

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database API Reference

Guide

.

Client/Server utilities always prompt for a password if no PWD attribute
is specified, since they must always use

Authenticate

.

Scripts built on utilities requiring passwords may want to use the

PWDCrypt

attribute, rather than embedding a cleartext password in the

script.

Privileges

For a description of the TimesTen Access Control privileges, see

“Access Control Privileges”

in the

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory

Database SQL Reference Guide

,

GroupRestrict

The instance administrator must be included in the

GroupRestrict

groups being used.
