Connection log for bequeath connection [message #438610]

Hello All,
We are known for that listener will no longer be used for oracle database connection if the connection is being requested from the server itself, it's called "Bequeath" connection.

I am searching such a log(something like listener log) which is maintained for "Bequeath" connection.
Can anybody suggest me how can I get the log of each "Bequeath" connection in a particular oracle database server.

Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
Suresh Gautam

You could audit "create session", I suppose.

Hello John,
Thanks a lot for your quick response. We need to consider something like trigger based solution for auditing "create session", which will add additional overhead to the database. Listener log can give you details of connection establish through the listener log. Adding trigger based solution only for logging bequeath connection is no longer suitable for me.
Thanks and Best Regards,

If you activate audit, it is internal triggers with far less overhead than custom trigger.
Anyway, it adds an overhead but if you really need it you have to activate it.
Note that if there was a file logging it would also add an overhead.

Michel,
I can't disable to log listener log for some other reasons.
Do we have any option to disable bequeath connection in the database server?
If we disable bequeath connection, user will be enforced to use service name even if they are requesting the connection from the same server.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Suresh Gautam

I don't think there is any option to prevent from local connection.
If you do not create user accounts on the server then they can't locally connect.
Why end users have account on the database server? Only administrators should have (and possibly a couple of batch accounts but with no interactive access).

Michel

SQL> CONNECT SCOTT/TIGER
which produced following audit log file

What are your audit parameters (show parameter audit)?
Whar are your audit options (dba_priv_audit_opts, dba_stmt_audit_opts)?

But I don't think it satisfies the following.
