2.2.17 Ensure 'PDB_OS_CREDENTIAL' is NOT null

Information

The pdb_os_credential setting determines what OS user will be utilized to run jobs at the OS level from within the Oracle database.

Permitting a job to run at the OS level with default credential, Oracle OS user, can allow for excessive privileges that a job should not have.

Solution

Using the DBMS_CREDENTIAL package, ensure credentials are set for stand alone, container and pluggable databases.
