Permission to disable OE Replication

Posted by Dmitri Levin on 22-Sep-2017 12:51

To disconnect a user one has to be a "root" or a process that started the database.

Same permission is needed to shutdown. All is good.

To disable replication ( Source or Target ) no permission is needed. Any one can disable OE replication.

Does that sound right for everyone ?

I'd tend to agree; elevated perms should be required.

There might also be an argument for optionally restricting access by user/group to start/stop Webspeed/Appserver/etc.

In theory you could change the perms in $DLC/bin, though that change would need to be reapplied on every reinstall and possibly on patch/hotfix.
