The NETWORKACLADMIN package provides the interface to administer the network access control lists (ACL). ACLs are used to control access by users to external network services and resources from the database through PL/SQL network utility packages including UTLTCP, UTLHTTP, UTLSMTP andUTLINADDR. And commit the changes using the DBMSNETWORKACLADMIN PL/SQL package. For example, to give the users SCOTT and ADAMS the permission to connect to www.oracle.com via HTTP (namely to connect to TCP/IP port 80), the.

This article presents how to install and configure Apex for version 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 4.2.5
Prepare software to installation
Download installation package from Oracle site and unzip.
After unzip is completed a new directory will be created /tmp/apex so go to this directory and log into database as SYSDBA. Always use SYSDBA account for running all scripts.
Pre-installation steps
It’s recommended to do backup of the database and disable the Oracle XMLDB HTTP server by setting the HTTP port to 0.
Install full development option
When Oracle Application Express installs, it creates three new database accounts:APEX_040200
– The account that owns the Oracle Application Express schema and metadata.FLOWS_FILES
– The account that owns the Oracle Application Express uploaded files.APEX_PUBLIC_USER
– The minimally privileged account is used for Oracle Application Express configuration with Oracle Application Express Listener or Oracle HTTP Server andmod_plsql
.
Change password for ADMIN account. When prompted enter a password for the
ADMIN
account.Configure embedded PL/SQL Gateway and unlock ANONYMOUS account. One important note – you are calling script from directory /tmp/apex but you need to specify /tmp. It can seem a little bit weird.

What has been changed in Oracle Database 12c with Network ACLs?
Starting from 12c, network access control in the Oracle database is implemented using Real Application Security access control lists (ACLs). Existing 11g network ACLs in XDB will be migrated. Existing procedures and functions of the DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN PL/SQL package and catalog views have been deprecated and replaced with new equivalents
In 12c, a network privilege can be granted by appending an access control entry (ACE) to a host ACL using DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.APPEND_HOST_ACE. If you append an ACE to a host that has no existing host ACL, a new host ACL will be created implicitly. If the host ACL already exists, the ACE will be appended to the existing ACL.
(both paragraphs taken from MOS Note: 2078710.1)
What happens during/after upgrade?
- Existing network ACLs will be migrated from XDB in Oracle 11g to Real Application Security in Oracle 12c.
All privileges of the existing ACLs will be preserved - Existing ACLs will be renamed
- Mapping between the old / new names is reflected in DBA_ACL_NAME_MAP.
Issues before/during Database Upgrade?
How To Install Dbms_network_acl_admin Package In Germany
First of all the current preupgrd.sql does not warn you correctly if such ACLs exist. This fix gets added to the preupgrd.sql. But you’ll need to download the most recent version from MOS Note 884522.1. The one from January 2015 does not have it yet. But this is addressed and will be implemented soon.
Here’s an issue which happened to one of my very experienced colleagues from Oracle Consulting in an upgrade project:
“Customer had network ACLs defined and Privileges (resolve,connect) granted for several hosts to several DB
users in 11.2.0.3.
users in 11.2.0.3.
With the first DB, we observed the ACL renaming as you described it, but, much worse: 4 out of 9 privileges granted
were completely gone away after the upgrade performed by DBUA (to 12.1.0.2.4). We then were able to evaluate the missing privileges and re-grant them again. Warned by that, for the next databases to be upgraded, we copied all the 11.2.0.3 content of the DBA_NETWORK_ACLS and DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES to helper tables in order to be able to restore lost privileges (which was a good idea, as in one of the databases, only 87 out of 240 formerly existing privileges survived the upgrade).”

Solution?
Check for existing Network ACLs before the upgrade or get the most recent preupgrd.sql once it contains the check.
Preserve the existing network ACLs and privileges (DBA_NETWORK_ACLS and DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES) in a intermediate staging table to have the possibility to restore them afterwards in case the automatic migration fails or does not happen.
If you encounter a situation where your Network ACLs don’t get migrated correctly, disappear and/or don’t exist in the mapping table DBA_ACL_NAME_MAP afterwards please open an SR and let Oracle Support check. There are known issues with mappings and migrations not done correctly (find some bugs below) so needs to be verified if you have hit a known issue or encountered a new one.
