Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 58

An Autonomous Database (ADB) user with an instance wallet has left the company and they shared a database user id with other users when accessing ADB.
Other than changing the shared user password, what can the admin do to protect the instance? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. Delete the user.
• B. Rotate the instance wallet and share the new wallet with the remaining users.
• C. Shutdown and restart the instance.
• D. Trust the user who left to not access the database.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Rotating the instance wallet ensures that all previous access points are invalidated, thus protecting the database from unauthorized access by the former user. Deleting the user may not be feasible if multiple users need access, and simply restarting the instance or trusting the former employee does not effectively safeguard the database.
