NAME
 ora-smf - smf(5) service bundle for Oracle databases and 
           listeners

DESCRIPTION
 ora-smf is a service bundle for starting Oracle databases and 
 listeners. It consists of 1 method and 4 service bundles.
 
AUTHORIZATIONS
 The service bundles contain two authorizations:

  solaris.smf.manage.oracle.database
  solaris.smf.manage.oracle.listener

 These authorizations give the priveleges required to execute the
 method (and thus to start and stop databases and listeners) and
 to modify all of the properties of the services and instances.

 To use these authorizations, they must be added to the 
 authorization description database, auth_attr(4) first. For example:

  solaris.smf.manage.oracle.database:::Manage Oracle databases
  solaris.smf.manage.oracle.listener:::Manage Oracle listeners

 Secondly, these authorizations must be connected to a user
 account on the system. This can be done by associating the authorizations 
 directly with a useraccount. For example:

  usermod -A solaris.smf.manage.oracle.database john

 gives the user john the authorization to manage all aspects of the
 Oracle smf(5) configuration.

 A better, more scalable, approach is to connect the authorizations
 to a profile, for example by adding a line like

  Oracle Managenent:::Manage Oracle:\
   auths=solaris.smf.manage.oracle.database,\
   solaris.smf.manage.oracle.listener

 to the prof_attr(4) profile description database. Then, users who
 require the authorizations can be associated with this profile with
 the following

  usermod -P "Oracle Managenent" john
