Database hardening

Security recommendations

Nokia recommends the following:

• Enable IP validation when the NFM-P database is installed. IP validation restricts the server components that can access to the main database. See the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.

• Enable Oracle database error monitoring. Oracle database errors provide monitoring information that may help with troubleshooting or the detection of security violations, such as SQL injection attacks. When database error monitoring is enabled, the NFM-P raises an alarm when the Oracle software reports an error, such as an invalid SQL statement.

• Enable the 'secure' parameter on the auxiliary database to enable TLS connections. See the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.
