Does anyone have any ideas for a query for audit of proxy users? For audit reasons generic logins no longer allowed. Querying DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL - as in report showing proxy user activity - PROXY_SESSION_ID = SESSION_ID.

not getting results required from joining table to itself i.e.


select A.OS_USERNAME, A.USERNAME,A.TIMESTAMP, A.ACTION, A.ACTION_NAME, A.COMMENT_TEXT, A.SESSIONID, A.PROXY_SESSIONID
FROM DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL A, DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL B
WHERE A.PROXY_SESSIONID = B.SESSIONID




thanks in advance!

Give us a clue as to what exactly are your "required results".

And explain what is the purpose of "WHERE A.PROXY_SESSIONID = B.SESSIONID"?

I fail to see what you want to get.

Indeed BS a crystal ball would be great.

Basically I need the proxy user to be the DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL.USERNAME...I don't want the generic user in the query output.

You have in this column what Oracle puts in it.
If this is not what you want refer to Oracle.

I still fail to see what you want.
Put a CLEAR example.

The proxy user logs in and is assigned a session id which is equivalent to the proxy_sessionid field: i.e. I have logged in as proxy user, created a table and logged out:


USERNAME	ACTION_NAME	            SESSIONID	PROXY_SESSIONID
PROXYONE	PROXY AUTHENTICATION ONLY   80022050	
GENERIC	        LOGON	                    80022051	80022050
GENERIC	        CREATE TABLE	            80022051	80022050
GENERIC	        CREATE TABLE	            80022051	80022050
GENERIC	        CREATE TABLE	            80022051	80022050
GENERIC	        LOGOFF	                    80022051	80022050

I don't have an example unfortunately.
A clear report that it is a proxy user that is being audited and not the generic user.

example:


select p.username, g.username as authenicator, g.*
FROM DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL p, DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL g
where p.timestamp > (sysdate -1/24) and g.timestamp > (sysdate -1/24) 
and p.username in ('PROXYONE','GENERIC') and g.username in ('PROXYONE','GENERIC')
and p.sessionid = g.proxy_sessionid
order by p.timestamp ;

And from the example you gave, what should be the result?

You just need to enable te audit of the proxy. For example,

audit select table on emp by scott on behalf of fred;

--update: sorry, I had slightly wrong syntax. You can't audit access to a table, only use of a privilege.
So it would have to be:
audit select table by scott on behalf of fred;

This is not an option as proxy user will be creating tables etc.
I just want to show, in a view on DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL, that the login/actions is a proxy and not the schema name.
The username field of dba_audit_trail just shows the schema name once the proxy has logged in.
So proxy logs in - 2 entries in dba_audit_trail for login and authentication by proxy. Then all subsequent tasks (create/truncate etc.) are shown as the schema (generic) user in dba_audit_trail.
