Create an OpenVMS Account to Own Oracle Software
The oracle9 account is the OpenVMS user account that owns the Oracle9i
software after installation
. Run Oracle Universal Installer with this user account.
Use the AUTHORIZE utility to create an oracle9 account with the following
properties:
Table 3–4 lists the properties of Oracle9i accounts.
Sites with multiple ORA_ROOT directories on one system may install Oracle
software with the same oracle9 account, or separate accounts
. Each oracle9
account must have the same group UIC.
Create an OpenVMS Account to Own the Apache Server
The Apache account is an OpenVMS user account that owns the Apache server
after installation
. If you use a default Apache configuration (one that listens to
ports lower than 1024, which are reserved to System ), then Oracle Corporation
recommends, for security reasons, that a separate account owner be set up for

Login Name Any name, but this document refers to it as the oracle9
account.

directories . The home directory of the oracle9 account does
not need to be the same as the ORA_ROOT directory.
Caution: Use the oracle9 account only for installing and
maintaining Oracle software . Never use it for purposes unrelated
to the Oracle9i server . Do not use SYSTEM as the oracle9
account.
