Which Load Balancer is right for you..?

Posted by Sriram Sanka on September 20, 2023


Oracle has Two Load Balancer Services available. , In case if you are not sure which one is best for you and what are the differences, you can refer the following chart provided by Oracle. https://cloud.oracle.com/load-balancers#

Load balancer

The load balancer service provides a reverse proxy solution that hides the IP of the client from backend application server and vice versa. It is capable of performing advanced layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS), layer 4 (TCP) load balancing and SSL offloading.

Best for: Websites, mobile apps, SSL termination, and advanced HTTP handling.

Network load balancer

The network load balancer service provides a pass-through (non-proxy solution) that is capable of preserving the client header (source and destination IP). It is built for speed, optimized for long running connections, high throughput and low latency.

Best for: Scaling network virtual appliances such as firewalls, real-time streaming, long running connections, Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet of Things (IoT), and trading platforms.

Enable/Disable MFA on Oracle Cloud (OCI) portal

Posted by Sriram Sanka on September 12, 2023


When signing up, it is mandatory to configure and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Once configured, during the login process, you will be required to obtain approval either through the Oracle Authenticator App or by obtaining a passcode.

To customise the MFA Configuration, access the Identity & Security section and select the desired domain. This action will direct you to the Domain Dashboard, where you can choose the appropriate security settings and explore additional options for Multi-Factor Authentication.

You can change the Default Configuration under Identity–>Domains–>Default domain–>Security –>MFA, when you try to update the changes , you may get the error as below “You cannot disable these factors as they are being referenced in Rules used in Sign-On Policies. Remove them from the Rules before disabling the factors.”

In order to prevent the occurrence of the aforementioned error, it is advisable to disable the default sign-in policy for both users and administrators as indicated in the error message.

Please note that it is not advisable to disable security policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for cloud access. follow https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Security/Reference/iam_security_topic-IAM_MFA.htm for more information.

Oracle Database 21c Express Edition (XE) RPM Installation On Oracle Linux 9

Posted by Sriram Sanka on March 29, 2023


What is Oracle Express Edition

Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) is a community supported edition of the Oracle Database family. It can be Installed in Linux, Windows, Dockers, and Virtual Machine as well.

Oracle Database Express Edition does not restrict in which environment it can be deployed. However, Oracle Database Express Edition is not supported and does not receive any patches, including security patches.

Oracle Database XE supports up to:

  • 2 CPUs for foreground processes
  • 2GB of RAM (SGA and PGA combined)
  • 12GB of user data on disk (irrespective of compression factor)

You can Download Oracle XE from https://www.oracle.com/nl/database/technologies/xe-downloads.html but its not available for Oracle Linux Version 9, In this article we are going install OL8 Version in OL9.

Pre- Installation

1. Make sure to have FQDN(fully qualified domain name) and an Entry with the same in /etc/hosts file.

2. Install dependent rpm compat-openssl10 , This can be downloaded from https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/c/compat-openssl10-1.0.2o-4.el8_6.x86_64.rpm

Step 3:

mysql_secure_installation — Improve MySQL Installation Security

This program enables you to improve the security of your MySQL installation in the following ways:

  • You can set a password for root accounts.
  • You can remove root accounts that are accessible from outside the local host.
  • You can remove anonymous-user accounts.
  • You can remove the test database (which by default can be accessed by all users, even anonymous users), and privileges that permit anyone to access databases with names that start with test_.

root@osboxes:~# mysql_secure_installation

Securing the MySQL server deployment.

Connecting to MySQL using a blank password.

VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN can be used to test passwords
and improve security. It checks the strength of password
and allows the users to set only those passwords which are
secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin?

Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: y

There are three levels of password validation policy:

LOW    Length >= 8
MEDIUM Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters
STRONG Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, special characters and dictionary                  file

Please enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG: 2
Please set the password for root here.

New password:

Re-enter new password:

Estimated strength of the password: 100
Do you wish to continue with the password provided?(Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user,
allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have
a user account created for them. This is intended only for
testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.
You should remove them before moving into a production
environment.

Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.


Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from
'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at
the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that
anyone can access. This is also intended only for testing,
and should be removed before moving into a production
environment.


Remove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
 - Dropping test database...
Success.

 - Removing privileges on test database...
Success.

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes
made so far will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.

All done!

This step Completes the Installation Part. You can now login and verify.

root@osboxes:~# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

Upgrade Paths

  • Upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 is supported. However, upgrade is only supported between General Availability (GA) releases. For MySQL 8.0, it is required that you upgrade from a MySQL 5.7 GA release (5.7.9 or higher). Upgrades from non-GA releases of MySQL 5.7 are not supported.
  • Upgrading to the latest release is recommended before upgrading to the next version. For example, upgrade to the latest MySQL 5.7 release before upgrading to MySQL 8.0.
  • Upgrade that skips versions is not supported. For example, upgrading directly from MySQL 5.6 to 8.0 is not supported.
  • Once a release series reaches General Availability (GA) status, upgrade within the release series (from one GA version to another GA version) is supported. For example, upgrading from MySQL 8.0.x to 8.0.y is supported. (Upgrade involving development-status non-GA releases is not supported.) Skipping a release is also supported. For example, upgrading from MySQL 8.0.x to 8.0.z is supported. MySQL 8.0.11 is the first GA status release within the MySQL 8.0 release series.

Run update and upgrade to get the latest Package information and also all the Other Packages to be updated. This Step Takes a while.
