Description

A warning message provides legal support for such prosecution. Access to the DBMS or the applications used to access the DBMS require this warning to help assign responsibility for database activities.

Fix Text (F-22800r1_fix)
Replace the DBMS banner text with the banner text as shown in this check. For all versions of Oracle, this requirement can be fulfilled where the database user receives the warning message when authenticating or connecting to a front-end system that includes or covers the Oracle DBMS. Mark this check as a Finding if the display of a warning banner (not necessarily this specific warning banner) cannot be confirmed. The banner text listed in the Check section supersedes that referenced in the Database STIG requirement.
